Flock surveillance cameras
Summary
Nearly a dozen speakers attacked the city's Flock contract — citing data sharing with federal immigration agencies, false alert rates, officer misuse of plate-reader data, and a $3.5 million drone expansion reportedly coded under an 'animal shelter study' budget line. Vice Mayor Lee defended the cameras but backed a special public-safety meeting, and Enriquez is drafting an ALPR data-resolution with guardrails for September.
