The city of Salem recently made upgrades to its traffic surveillance cameras, sparking questions in the community about their purpose during a time where flock cameras are a topic of controversy. Many residents have taken to social media to voice their concerns, and Salem’s Mayor, Cyndi Baronzzi Dickey, said these flock cameras are not necessarily the ones that most people think of. “Flock camera is the company name, and they do a variety of different types of cameras,” Dickey explained.
