Dutchess County to cover Flock cameras despite Serino’s objections

Dutchess County to cover Flock cameras despite Serino’s objections

POUGHKEEPSIE — A resolution to cover Dutchess County’s Flock Safety cameras will still go into effect, despite County Executive Sue Serino’s decision not to sign the measure. The resolution, which passed unanimously in the legislature, directs county personnel to cover any remaining license plate readers with opaque, non-damaging materials, so residents know the devices are no longer recording.

Serino argued that the resolution is unnecessary and could expose the county to liability if equipment is damaged. A formal demand was issued to Flock on Sept. 30 to remove its equipment by Oct. 30. If Flock misses that deadline, Serino said, the county will work with the district attorney and sheriff to take further steps.
