A mom in Richmond, Virginia, went through every parent’s worst fear last month when someone stole her car with her two kids—a newborn and a 3-year-old with autism—inside. She called 911 in a panic, and Richmond’s police chief said he felt like he had to jump through the phone to help. Officers quickly checked the city’s Flock Safety camera system, and in less than an hour, they found the car, got the children back, and caught the suspect. This real story shows how these cameras can save lives. Instead of banning them, we need smart rules to balance safety and privacy.
