Concerns about privacy and data access are prompting a call for a special meeting. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo is seeking a discussion about the use of automated license plate reader cameras. She believes the technology can be useful in solving crimes, but also notes the potential for abuse, such as tracking or stalking individuals.

Judge Hidalgo is advocating for stronger privacy protections and oversight of the systems. The county recently renewed its contract for the cameras. Further details about the concerns and the proposed meeting are available from the judge's public statement.

The meeting is intended to address the public's questions and concerns about the technology and its use in the county.
