Texas city demands $2 million for records on Flock surveillance
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, the automated license plate recognition system widely deployed by police departments. Critics say the steep fee effectively blocks public oversight of how the surveillance technology is used, sparking debate over transparency and the growing reach of license plate cameras.
Why now: The unusually high fee for transparency around a controversial police surveillance system has drawn attention to concerns over public accountability.
