And remove and destroy all of the installed ones...right? Right?
This will never be passed because most of the people benefitting from Flock are the ones who will vote on the bill.
Aren’t most of them funded by local governments anyway?
(And then when the city councils or residents vote to stop it, the cops leave them up anyway?)
My local government had funds offered by a federal grant they didn't apply for. A neighboring county had applied for the federal grant, received a ton of money, and was dishing it out to police across the region.
federal bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock-style automated license plate reader cameras
This is so such local governments have other funding withdrawn until they get rid of the cameras, presumably
One can hope
