Anger Grows as Denver Mayor Extends Flock Camera Contract
Denver residents are demanding answers from Mayor Mike Johnston after he extended the city's contract with Flock Safety for license plate-reading cameras.
A community town hall was held on Wednesday evening, where close to 700 people gathered to call for the mayor to turn off the city's 111 Flock Safety license plate-reading cameras.
The meeting came just hours after Johnston announced that the city would extend its contract with the Atlanta-based technology company, despite public outcry over privacy concerns and against the wishes of the City Council.
Angry and suspicious of the mayor's new "no cost" deal with Flock, residents are calling for answers and for the Johnston administration to explain its unilateral decision.
Residents poured into a large conference room, spilling into overflow rooms, to demand that the mayor turn off the cameras.
