Is there more information available? This article is effectively one sentence long: > On Sept. 30, 2025, a Flock vice president logged into the Dunwoody PD’s Flock system and looked at a camera in the children’s gymnastics room of a private community center here in Dunwoody. And there is a lot being implied in this sentence.
