A new budget has been approved that includes continued funding for Flock Safety license plate-reading cameras. This decision was made despite some residents and council members pushing for reconsideration of the technology. The debate surrounding the cameras centers on questions about privacy, data sharing, and the use of the cameras' information.
The cameras are automated license plate readers that capture information as vehicles pass. Further details about the technology and the budget decision are available. Other cities in the area have pulled back from using Flock cameras amid growing concerns, but funding for the system was ultimately kept in the new budget.
