Condemned

Statement summary

Moore said he does not support the use of Flock cameras or listening devices and that the city's approach encroaches on residents' right to privacy, while saying he is open to other traffic-safety options.

“While I believe law enforcement is acting with the sincere intention to implement strategies to react to emergency situations quicker, I do not support the use of Flock cameras or listening devices. I am not against looking into other options/cameras when it comes to traffic safety, but I think the way the city is going about things encroaches on our citizens’ right to privacy.”

Why we used this label

The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Moore says he does not support the use of Flock cameras or listening devices and that the city's approach encroaches on privacy. His openness to other traffic-safety cameras does not change his rejection of the Flock systems, so Condemned fits.
