Texas city demands $2 million for Flock surveillance records
Original: 📰 Texas City Demands $2 Million For Public Records On Flock Usage An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica:
A Texas city is demanding $2 million in fees to release public records about its use of Flock, the automated license plate reader surveillance system. According to an Ars Technica report, as bipartisan backlash against Flock grows, some cities are imposing eye-popping charges on anti-surveillance advocates and media outlets seeking information, a move critics see as an attempt to obstruct transparency about how the cameras track residents' movements.
Why now: Growing bipartisan controversy over Flock's surveillance network and cities' apparent use of high fees to block scrutiny.
