Dismissed the opposition as alarmist and said the technology is needed to keep the community safe.

An attorney who argued the cameras are warrantless mass surveillance, cited studies showing no significant crime reduction, and noted over a hundred cities have canceled Flock contracts.

A former resident who said safety gains don't justify tracking everyone, criticized police union influence, and asked three council members to agendize terminating the contract.

Questioned the claim that Flock cameras only read plates, pointing to pan-tilt-zoom cameras in city parks he said can track individuals.
