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: Flagstaff City Council member running for reelection
Statement summary
Flagstaff City Council member Khara House said she is proud of the council's unanimous decision to cancel the city's Flock contract, and that conversations with residents, advocacy groups, the ACLU and the Policing Project at NYU Law made clear there were issues with Flock.
“I’m proud of Council’s unanimous decision to cancel the City’s Flock contract. Before our decision, I engaged in extensive conversations with community members, advocacy organizations, the ACLU, and The Policing Project at NYU Law to better understand the privacy, civil liberties, data-sharing, and public safety implications of this technology. While the community expressed trust in and support for Flagstaff’s police department, it was also clear that there were issues with Flock. Since our cancellation, I’ve watched other Arizona communities follow our lead in cancelling their own Flock agreements.”
The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. House, who voted with the council to cancel the city's Flock contract, wrote that she is proud of that decision and pointed to other Arizona communities cancelling their own agreements. She endorses ending the network in Flagstaff and does not propose keeping it with limits, so Condemned fits.
