atives from the sheriff's office defended the Flock system, insisting the system isn't the issue; governance is.

At that meeting, an official said:  So, this policy sits on top of all of our policies, and it says that you may not give out or even look at any of this unless you have a permissible reason and you follow our policies and our orders. 

Guibord called that stance misleading.

 That's deceptive. I want to see them gone,  she said, referring to the Flock cameras.

Details on the alleged misuse and the scope of the current investigation have not been released. But retired police captain Mario Bastianelli, now chief administrative officer at Fortis Group, said such a probe is likely to be extensive.

 Figure out when and how that was accessed and then putting it together and figuring out, yeah, are there witnesses that need to be involved? How did you utilize that system, what did you do with that information?  Bastianelli said.

The sheriff's office said it cannot provide additional information at this time.

A spokesperson for the county commissioners' public information office acknowledged receiving questions from Local 4 about whether there will be a pause or discontinuation of Flock use in Oakland County but did not immediately provide an answer.
