Automated License Plate Recognition and Flock Safety Contract

Urged council to vote yes on Item 24 to cancel the Flock contract, arguing that long-term location tracking creates a permanent surveillance infrastructure that violates constitutional principles.

Asked the city not to renew contracts with Flock Safety, citing privacy violations, unauthorized data sharing with federal agencies in other cities, and mass surveillance concerns.

Urged council not to renew the Flock contract, citing Fourth Amendment protections and risks of data retention by private entities.

Asked council to reconsider Flock cameras due to algorithmic biases, misidentification risks, and potential monitoring of immigrants and activists.

Called on the city to end all Flock contracts, noting documented abuses in other states where agencies searched data related to protest activity and federal immigration tracking.
