Stanley calls for ending Flock camera use at NAU and the county
Candidate for Flagstaff City Council
“I am against any kind of unnecessary or invasive surveillance of the community. The Flock cameras, for example, were an unnecessary intrusion of privacy and I was glad to see their removal. I also believe that their use at both NAU and at the county level should be ceased as well.”

How this statement is classified
Case context: Should Flock-style license-plate surveillance networks exist?
The label describes this statement’s response within the context above.
Why this label?
The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Stanley wrote that Flagstaff's Flock cameras were an unnecessary intrusion on privacy, that he was glad they were removed, and that their use at Northern Arizona University and by the county should also stop. That is a call to end the systems, so Condemned fits.
