Flock surveillance camera contract opposition
Summary
A coordinated group of residents is pressing the city to cancel its Flock license plate reader contract, citing privacy, AI misidentification cases, data-sharing with ICE and other agencies, and the $142,500 annual cost. Council members said they can't cancel the contract — that's the Board of Public Safety — though they can choose not to fund it going forward.

Impact analysis
The contract costs taxpayers about $142,500 per year, according to a speaker.
EPD gets license plate data it says has helped solve cases; residents concerned about privacy don't see it that way.
Critics argue every resident's vehicle movements are tracked and the data can be accessed by other agencies.
