Residents in Garden City have publicly called for their community to discontinue its use of Flock Safety automated license plate reader cameras, according to a NewsBreak report by Camille Amiri. The report describes resident opposition to the surveillance cameras but the available text does not detail the specific objections raised, the number of cameras involved, or how local officials responded. It is also unclear from the available material which Garden City is involved or whether any formal vote or policy change is pending.

Why this matters
