Flock cameras can help police find stolen cars and solve crimes. But they can also create a record of where vehicles have been — raising questions about privacy and police surveillance.

Coming up at 9 a.m., MPR News host Catharine Richert talks with a data privacy expert about  what kind of information Flock cameras collect, who can access that information and what limits the Constitution puts on tracking our movements.

Do you think Flock cameras are a reasonable tool for police — or an invasion of privacy? And what do you want to know about how these cameras work, what they can see and what happens to that information?
