Dayton, OH
Dayton, Ohio covered every one of its 72 fixed-site Flock license plate reader cameras with trash bags after officials found the data had been used in ways that violated city policy, including immigration-enforcement data sharing.
City workers in Dayton, Ohio physically bagged all 72 of the city’s fixed-site automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras after officials determined the collected data had been used in violation of city policy, including in connection with immigration enforcement and data sharing.
The move made Dayton one of the most visible examples of a municipality hitting the brakes on Flock surveillance after discovering how broadly the data was being accessed.
