We need Flock cameras and secure privacy rights
A piece in the Davis Enterprise argues that Flock Safety license plate reader cameras can coexist with strong privacy protections, framing the two goals as compatible rather than opposing.
Why this matters: Flock cameras are spreading fast. Cities install them with little public debate, and they build up detailed records of where cars go and when. The argument that surveillance and privacy can coexist is worth watching closely. The real test is not whether a city says it cares about privacy. It is whether there are hard limits on who can access the data, how long it is kept, and what happens when it is misused. Good intentions are not a policy.
