Statement summary
Josh Brecheen cosponsored the Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act, H.R. 9800, which would bar federal agencies from using plate-reader systems, including Flock cameras, and bar state and local governments from spending federal funds on them.
“No Federal agency may purchase, deploy, operate, access, or contract for any automated surveillance system that identifies, tracks, or records individuals through any of the following: (1) An automated license plate recognition system, including a Flock Safety camera.”
The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Brecheen cosponsored a bill that would prohibit federal use of plate-reader systems and federal funding for state and local systems. It would not reach every state or local system, which fits Mixed or conditional.
