A Flock camera records traffic at the intersection of U.S. Route 1 and the Spur Road in York on Monday. York is the only Maine municipality with Flock cameras installed to date. In 2023, two New Mexico women were detained solely because a Flock camera misread a number in their license plate. A Colorado family was handcuffed at gunpoint in 2020 after a Flock camera misidentified their SUV as a motorcycle from a different state. York is the only Maine municipality with Flock cameras installed to date.
