City leaders have approved a new budget that includes funding for Flock Safety license plate-reading cameras. The decision was made despite some residents and council members expressing concerns about the technology. A debate about the cameras lasted over an hour, with discussions about privacy and data sharing.
The cameras are automated license plate readers that capture information from vehicles as they pass. They have been a topic of discussion in several cities, with some deciding to pull back from using them. Further details about the decision and the use of Flock cameras are available from the source.
The funding for the cameras was ultimately kept in the budget, unlike in some neighboring communities.
