OXFORD FLOCK CAMERAS 

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, ONE CITY HAS VOTED TO END ITS CONTRACT WITH FLOCK SAFETY. 
ON TUESDAY, OXFORD CITY COUNCIL VOTE SIX TO ONE TO OFFICIALLY TERMINATE THEIR AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READER CONTRACT WITH FLOCK SAFETY. THIS MAKES OXFORD THE FIRST CITY IN OHIO TO COMPLETELY ABOLISH THE USE OF THE CONTROVERSIAL CAMERA PROGRAM. DATA PRIVACY AND DATA-SHARING CONCERNS WERE LISTED AS THE TOP TWO REASONS FOR THE TERMINATION AS OXFORD’S 14 CAMERAS WERE ACCESSIBLE TO OVER 2,200 EXTERNAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.
RESIDENTS ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT THE CAMERAS CREATED AN UNCOMFORTABLE POLICE STATE.
