Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass expressed her concerns regarding a potential agreement between Flock Safety and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Mayor Bass stated that Flock Safety, a company known for providing automated license plate readers, has ‘lost the trust of Angelenos and residents of other cities across the country.’ She highlighted the impact on immigrant communities, noting that these groups feel targeted by federal authorities.
In her statement on Thursday, Mayor Bass emphasized the need for the LAPD to seek alternatives. She urged them to find another company that operates without sharing data, ensuring the protection of community trust and privacy.
The backdrop of this controversy includes visible signs warning drivers about surveillance cameras in areas like Beverly Hills, California. This has intensified discussions about privacy and policing practices.
