Committee votes to draft resolution discouraging Flock automated license-plate cameras
Summary
Saint Albans' ordinance committee voted to draft and send to full council a resolution discouraging the deployment of Flock automated license-plate cameras, citing privacy and budget priorities; the motion carried by voice vote.
The ordinance committee voted to draft a resolution that discourages the use of Flock automated license-plate cameras in Saint Albans and to forward that draft to the full city council for consideration.
Committee members said the city should prioritize spending on parks, emergency services and infrastructure rather than investing in automated camera systems, and that a resolution expressing the committee's position is the appropriate next step. A motion to draft and adopt a discouraging resolution was seconded and carried by voice vote; the committee made no commitment to purchase or install cameras.
The resolution will be prepared for review by the full council; no ordinance or procurement action was taken at committee.
