Case
Networked automated license-plate cameras can assemble searchable records of vehicle movements. Candidates and officials disagree over whether to ban the systems, keep them with limits, or defend them as investigative tools. This tracker separates outright bans from narrower restrictions.
Role at the time: Ohio state auditor and Republican attorney general nominee
Statement summary
Faber argued that Ohio police should retain Flock cameras for legitimate investigations while the state makes misuse of the database a felony. His proposal targets unauthorized searches rather than the camera network itself.
“Flock cameras can help Ohio police recover stolen cars, find missing kids, and catch violent criminals”
He defends continued law-enforcement use of the technology under stronger penalties for abuse.
