Dear Bozeman Commission Members,
I am writing as a concerned citizen to ask you to drop our contract with Flock.
Surveillance is not safety. Automatic license plate readers have become a staple of
policing across the US. They scan millions of plates daily, giving police enormous
unchecked power that challenges our constitutional rights.
Over the last year, thousands of people across the country have risen up and said no to
these private, profit-driven companies blanketing our cities, towns, and communities.
Contracts are being canceled and we're dismantling the surveillance infrastructure. I
hope we in Bozeman can join the movement and say no to ALPRs.
Thank you.
Sincere Regards,
Lelia Mellen
