Paul Kerfeld
Role at the time: Candidate for Folsom City Council, District 1
Statement summary
Paul Kerfeld said Flock cameras do not need a salary, benefits or a pension and help law enforcement in Folsom and across the region.
“Flock cameras do not need a salary, health benefits, or a pension, It's a way to help law enforcement not only in Folsom but region-wide, county-wide, into El Dorado County.”
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. Kerfeld described Flock cameras as a low-cost tool that helps law enforcement across the region and said he wanted police to have access to them. That supports keeping the cameras, which fits Defended or excused; his call to imprison anyone who misuses the data does not add a limit on their use.
