Flock Safety License Plate Reader Cameras
Summary
More than a dozen residents demanded the city remove its Flock automated license plate reader cameras, citing Fourth Amendment concerns, data misuse examples in Chandler, and Pinal County Sheriff Teeple's decision not to renew his Flock contract. The council cannot act on non-agenda topics, but the volume of opposition was notable.
