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 charging $2 million to fulfill a public records request concerning its use of Flock surveillance cameras, according to Ars Technica. Critics say the steep fee effectively blocks public oversight of how the automated license plate reader network is deployed, raising fresh concerns about transparency in police surveillance technology.
Why now: The unusually high fee appears designed to stall scrutiny of a controversial surveillance system, sparking debate over open records rights.
