Westland to remove Flock safety license plate cameras after privacy concerns
Westland will remove its 10 Flock Safety license plate-reading cameras when their contract expires, following resident criticism and a divided city council over privacy and data access. The decision comes after public concerns about surveillance and debates over who can access the data, with police chief Kyle Dawley declining to renew the contract and council members like Melissa Sampey and Mike McDermott citing privacy and constitutional issues.
