Knox County's plan to install license plate-reading cameras has been put on hold. The county's sheriff, Tom Spangler, made this announcement after his office received a grant to install nearly 300 cameras. The cameras, known as Flock Cameras, have raised concerns about privacy among the public and officials.

A meeting to discuss the cameras was canceled, but the county commission is still set to meet. Further details about the pause and the plans for the cameras are available from the Knox County Sheriff's Office, which had planned to use over $1 million in grant funding to install 270 cameras.
