Flock license-plate camera contract

Urged the committee to terminate the Flock contract, stop using the cameras, and not replace them with a similar surveillance system, citing Fourth Amendment concerns and industry drift toward mass surveillance platforms like Axon and Cognite.

Asked the committee to reject ALPR technology on grounds of privacy, high error rates (citing the Brookfield incident), and potential abuse through data sharing with unvetted agencies.

Said she travels and attends protests and fears being tracked by cameras on the bridge; reported getting no response from her alderman, Chad Beeman.

Questioned the value of ~$38,000 spent on 13 cameras producing about 20 alerts a month, raised data-sharing and First Amendment concerns, and asked why the cameras aren't being covered while the contract is under review.
