Flock ALPR Program

Chair of the Maricopa County Libertarian Party presented documents from an Oklahoma federal case where plate-reader evidence was thrown out as a Fourth Amendment violation, and pressed the council to investigate who searched a council member's wife's plate.

Small business owner cited a Texas officer's prison sentence for misusing Flock and similar databases to stalk a former girlfriend, and demanded the council commission an independent audit and end the ALPR program.

22-year resident cited the Oklahoma Fourth Amendment ruling as courts catching up to technology faster than usual, and asked the council to cancel the Flock contract.

A paramedic, he said a movement-tracking database isn't necessary for community safety, raised concerns about foreign misuse of surveillance infrastructure near the border, and noted petitions and third-party polling against the technology.
