Texas city demands $2M to release Flock records
Original: Texas city demands $2M for public records on Flock usage
A Texas city is demanding $2 million to fulfil a public records request concerning its use of Flock Safety's automated license plate readers. The fee, widely seen as a deterrent, has drawn criticism from transparency advocates who argue surveillance records should be accessible under state public information laws. The case highlights growing tension between municipalities deploying mass license plate surveillance and residents seeking accountability over how the data is collected, retained and shared with other agencies.
Why now: The unusually high fee is being viewed as an attempt to block public scrutiny of government surveillance technology.
