Jeremy KauffmanLibertarian candidate for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire
Senate candidate Jeremy Kauffman said he is sympathetic to arguments against Flock but would rather address the underlying cause than the cameras.

Where this statement fits
Should Flock-style license-plate surveillance networks exist?
Networked automated license-plate readers record passing vehicles and let agencies search or share travel records across locations. Candidates and officials disagree over whether to prohibit these networks, keep them with legal limits, or defend their use for investigations. This tracker records attributable positions on that choice, including proposals that would affect only public funding or data access.
