Flock Cameras

Flock cameras and similar surveillance systems raise privacy concerns, especially if federal agencies use the data to locate people at random. Under my proposed Washingtonship program, there would be less need to use surveillance tools for immigration enforcement because the state would have a better system for identifying who is living and working here.

At the same time, we need to be honest about the world we live in. People are already recorded by doorbell cameras, business cameras, traffic cameras, and private security systems every day. Privacy inside the home must remain protected, but public spaces are different.

The state should create clear limits on how surveillance data can be used but should still allow law enforcement to identify criminal activity and remove dangerous offenders from the streets.
