Statement summary
Harris criticized Flock-style mass surveillance while supporting police access to crime-fighting tools. He favored state and local action and said Congress may need to intervene when surveillance violates Fourth Amendment rights.
“these mass surveillance tools are not something that as Americans that we want to get used to.”
Harris says law enforcement should have tools to protect people, but mass surveillance crosses a line. He favors handling the issue locally and says constitutional violations could warrant federal intervention.
Archived copy (opens in a new tab)Harris accepts police technology subject to constitutional limits and criticizes mass surveillance. He expresses a conditional approach to continued use rather than a categorical ban.
