Flock surveillance and automated license plate readers in the 2027 budget

Two MPD officers were criminally charged for misusing Flock cameras to stalk people, and residents have packed commission meetings for months demanding the contract be cancelled. MPD rolled out new guardrails — supervisor-only access, 7-day retention, no data sharing, monthly audits — but most speakers and several commissioners remain unconvinced. The commission may vote later on an official position on the contract.
