Redmond unanimously voted to terminate its agreement in July after community members called the cameras a threat. Washington has no complete public inventory of how many agencies use the technology. https://clarkcountytoday.com/news/flock-cameras-cost-washington-taxpayers-millions-as-backlash-grows/ #FlockSafety #LicensePlateReaders #Surveillance #WashingtonState #DataPrivacy #LawEnforcement #PublicSafety #Policetech #TaxpayerMoney #ThecenterSquare
