Resident challenges camera surveillance, other issues

Body
A Ray County resident called on county leaders to ban automated license plate reader cameras, arguing the technology is insecure, prone to abuse and incompatible with constitutional protections. The request came from Ray County resident Kirk Croy, who told commissioners the cameras, known as automated license plate readers and marketed under the name Flock, are being used by local law enforcement despite what he described as serious cybersecurity vulnerabilities and a lack of meaningful safeguards over how the data is collected, stored and shared.
