Orlando man accused of spray-painting Flock cameras in two counties

11 a man on a mission to knock out flaw cameras with green spray paint and Orlando man is now facing felony charges accused of blinding six cameras across two counties. Thanks for joining us here for the late news at 11. I'm Luann Sorrell. Good evening, everybody. I'm Jack Royer. And we begin tonight with Fox 35 Chancellor Wynn who joins us live tonight. So Chancellor, did investigators finally track these people down? Yeah, they did track them down to the people who are allegedly charged with spray painting flaw cameras, specifically one guy, Christopher Iglesias. And what's interesting is while he was allegedly spray painting those lenses on those flaw cameras, the Orange County Sheriff's Office says it was cameras across the street at nearby businesses that were recording and captured his every move targeted and taken offline with a blast of green spray paint. You can even still see that bright pop of green on two of the six flaw cameras hit across Orange and Seminole counties. Orange County deputies say 43 year old Christopher Iglesias is the man behind the can. Investigators say security cameras nearby caught Iglesias allegedly using a long pole to reach the 12 foot high lenses. Automated license plate readers like flaw cameras are at the center of a growing debate. Just last week, an 18 year old was arrested, accused of chopping down a flaw camera pole in Volusia County. While cities like Oviedo are hearing major pushback from residents demanding the cameras be pulled over privacy and data concerns. I think they're good to ask questions. I think it keeps companies like Flock accountable. I think there's always a question about where the data is going and how secure it is. And the easy answer is there's nothing that is fully secure. IT expert Matt Rose says he understands those worries, especially following the recent arrests of a Sumter County detective and a Haines City officer accused of using the database to stalk romantic exes and family members. All these things could happen. Hopefully they don't. Could you have a disgruntled employee? Could you have a law enforcement individual doing the wrong things? Of course you can. But that's where you hope someone's checking the logs that they have to verify and you're hoping you would bring those people accountable if they're doing those things. So like, it's like anything, it's, you know, technology is great. You have to have a check and a balance. Now the company behind the tech is forcing those checks and balances. After growing criticism, Flock Safety announced a new abuse detection tool that all police departments have to use. We built a tool about four months ago to automatically flag potentially abusive behavior. About a third of our customers optionally turned it on. We are now requiring all of law enforcement to use this. As for Inglisius, he is facing multiple charges, including damaging an electronic device and criminal mischief. Tonight, he remains behind bars at the Orange County Jail. Reporting live, I'm Chancellor Nguyen, Fox 35 News.
