OUR REPORTING ON THIS AT KNWA
DOT COM. WILL GREENWOOD
RESIDENTS PACKED CITY HALL
MONDAY NIGHT. WE HAVE THEIR
OF COURSE WERE THERE. THEY
WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CITY'S
FLOCK CAMERA SAFETY CAMERAS,
RATHER STATE SENATOR BRAD
SIMON WAS IN THAT ROOM.
KNWA'S REAGAN WHEN TALK TO
HIM ABOUT WHAT HE'S TAKING,
WHAT HE'S TAKING FROM THAT
MEETING AND TO THE STATE
LEGISLATURE.
KNOW THE ARE. BUT I KNOW
FOR
THE CITY OF GREENWOOD HAS
USED FLOCK SAFETY, AUTOMATED
LICENSE PLATE READERS SINCE
2022. BUT ON AUGUST 10TH, THE
CITY HELD A STUDY SESSION TO
HEAR DIRECTLY FROM RESIDENTS
AND THE ROOM WAS SPLIT.
I'VE REACHED A VERY CLEAR
CONCLUSION. WE HAVE A REAL
NEED FOR OF ISIS PLATE READER
TECHNOLOGY IN THE CITY OF
AIRING.
ARKANSAS STATE SENATOR
BRAD SIMON WHO REPRESENTS
DISTRICT 26 IN THE RIVER
VALLEY WAS IN THE ROOM FOR
THAT DEBATE. HE SAYS THAT
KIND OF BACK AND FORTH IS
EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS TO SEE.
MORE OF.
FROM RESIDENTS AND
LAWMAKERS ALIKE AS A GOOD
CIVIL CONVERSATION. VERY
INFORMATIVE. WE DON'T WANT
THE SAME THE COUNCIL MEMBERS,
THE POLICE CHIEF TO CITIZENS,
THEY WANT TO FEEL SAFE IN
THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND SAFE.
AND THERE'S SIMON, 4 MONTHS
OUT FROM THE NEXT STATE
LEGISLATIVE SESSION SAYS
FLOCK IS ALREADY SHAPING THE
BALANCING ACT. HE'LL BRING
THE LITTLE ROCK.
TOOLS FOR POLICE WITHOUT
LOSING CONSTITUTIONAL
PROTECTIONS. WE DON'T PUT
SOMETHING IN PLACE THAT WE
HAVE TO BACKTRACK OR INFRINGE
UPON PEOPLE'S RIGHTS.
JUST THINK I DON'T WANT TO
HAVE TO LOOK AT A MOTHER OR
SOMEBODY THAT HAD PROPERTY
STOLEN AND SAY, WE HAVE THE
TECHNOLOGY. TO FIND MISSING
CHILD OR TO FIND YOUR STOLEN
PROPERTY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO
USE GREENWOOD RESIDENT ALSO
RAISED CONCERNS MONDAY NIGHT
ABOUT HOW EASILY COMPANIES
LIKE FLOCK CAN UPDATE THEIR
TERMS ONLINE. SOMETHING SIMON
SAYS HE WILL KEEP IN MIND
WHEN PROPOSING LEGISLATION
WHENEVER A CITY CAN GET INTO
A CONTRACT, ESPECIALLY
WHENEVER YOU'RE STORING
PUBLIX, THAT IN THOSE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE
WITHOUT NOTICE. THAT'S
EXTREMELY WARM TO LITTLE
THINGS LIKE THAT ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO BE FIXED FOR TO MOVE
FORWARD.
THAT'S REAGAN WHEN
REPORTING AT GREENWOOD
COUNCIL MEMBERS PLAN TO TAKE
UP THIS ISSUE ON SEPTEMBER
4TH. AND IF YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE LICENSE
PLATE READERS, ARE WE PART?
OUR REPORTING IS FAR FROM
DONE.
