Impact analysis
Ending the Flock contract could save city tax dollars, while keeping it means continuing to pay for the license and related data services.
Privacy-minded residents and civil-liberties advocates benefit if the city ends the contract, while police and supporters of the camera tool benefit if it stays.
If the cameras stay, privacy-sensitive residents face continued surveillance concerns; if they go, police lose a license-plate investigative tool.
