A lengthy discussion at an Auburn City Council meeting has set up a vote to cancel the city’s multi-year contract with Flock Safety and remove the license-plate reader cameras from Auburn streets. The contract is valued at about $120,000.
The automated license-plate cameras have drawn sustained criticism from residents over surveillance and data-sharing concerns. The council’s action would end the agreement rather than renew it for another year.
