“The attention that Flock has gotten itself has put everybody off, There's just no reason for us to take unnecessary risks.”
The Sacramento Bee report on where the three Folsom City Council District 1 candidates stand on automated license plate readers and Flock cameras.
Why we used this label
The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Kozlowski backed dropping Flock because of data-sharing risk while supporting continued use of other plate readers, including Motorola's, which he said give the city control over sharing. Keeping the systems under a different vendor with controls fits Mixed or conditional.
