At a League of Women Voters of Vigo County forum, legislative candidates were asked what state policy they wanted on Flock cameras. Lore said using the cameras to catch criminals "is an excellent thing" but that personal privacy also needs to be considered. As state leaders consider legislation, she said, "I would want a lot more information about how that information is being used," and added that there would be tradeoffs.
