Drew Stanley
Role at the time: Candidate for Flagstaff City Council
Statement summary
Drew Stanley said 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 at the county level should also end.
“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.”
Arizona Daily Sun feature in its 2026 candidate question series, printing the written answers of Flagstaff City Council and mayoral candidates to a question about Flock cameras. The paper says the answers were limited to 150 words and printed unedited unless a candidate went over that limit.

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.
