Flock cameras front of mind for River Valley senator

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.
