Houston police are the number one searchers of a Flock camera network more than a thousand miles away, according to new data obtained by KPRC 2 News from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

The automated license plate readers have gained a lot of attention in recent months over questions and concerns about privacy.

The data from March through May of this year shows the Houston Police Department ran 183,252 searches of the UNC Charlotte Flock network, which consists of 17 cameras.
