We hear why the cameras are concerning and why more cities may stop using them.

Police say the technology has improved public safety. But as public outrage over these systems grows, state lawmakers step into the debate.

A work session on Tuesday allowed Fort Collins City Council members to hear from law enforcement about Flock cameras used in the city.
