Automated License Plate Readers and Public Safety
Nine residents blasted the city's Flock license plate reader and camera system, citing constitutional concerns, a federal ruling against warrantless ALPR searches, audit logs showing millions of searches, commissioned polling, and a 700-signature petition. The mayor directed staff, police, and legal to study the issue and suggested drafting a local ordinance with guardrails, possibly replacing Flock with another vendor.
