Statement summary
Moon Reynolds said the devices were placed without proper City Council approval and that she does not support surveillance technology that infringes on privacy without clear oversight, transparency and accountability.
“Public safety is important, but so is the public’s trust. I am very concerned that these devices were placed without proper City Council approval—that alone is unacceptable. I do not support the use or expansion of surveillance technology that infringe on citizens’ privacy without clear oversight, transparency, and accountability. We can protect our community without compromising the rights of the people who live here.”

Why we used this label
The reference point is whether networked license-plate reader systems such as Flock should exist and be used. Moon Reynolds objects to how the devices were placed and opposes surveillance technology that infringes on privacy without clear oversight, transparency and accountability. Her opposition depends on those missing safeguards, so Mixed or conditional fits better than Condemned.
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.
