@moreperfectunion: Flock AI cameras in Cleveland, Ohio, have not gone dark, even though the City Council safety committee voted to let its contract with the police tech company expire at the end of June. Flock is a multi-billion-dollar company that provides AI-powered license plate readers to police. There are over 110,000 of them in the country, according to DeFlock. But communities everywhere oppose the error-prone technology, which has misread plates and led to dozens of wrongful stops and arrests.

Never been about safety

Flock cameras do not reduce crime. If he says if police say it’s valuable then he would listen to them then maybe he should also require the police to provide evidence of the total value provided (not individual anecdotal evidence)

So the city voted to talk more about it.

This technology should have been proven before put in place.
