Texas city demands $2M for records on Flock camera use
Original: Texas city demands $2M for public records on Flock usage
A Texas city is demanding a $2 million fee in exchange for public records about its use of Flock automated license plate readers, according to Ars Technica. The steep charge is being criticized as an obstacle to transparency, effectively pricing journalists and residents out of information about how the city deploys the surveillance technology.
Why now: The unusually large fee for public records raises concerns about government transparency around surveillance technology.
