Texas city demands $2M for public records on Flock usage
A Texas city is asking for $2 million to fulfill a public records request concerning its use of Flock surveillance technology. The steep fee is effectively blocking access to information about how the city deploys the automated license plate reader systems. Observers see the demand as a way to stall transparency about police surveillance, and the case has drawn attention to how cities charge for records access.
Why now: The unusually high fee raises concerns that local governments are using records costs to evade transparency about police surveillance technology.
