• CA Assembly Leader Kills Bill Regulating Flock Cameras as Public Outrage Grows (sanjoseinside.com) — Campbell is among several California cities that recently ended contracts with Flock Safety license-plate cameras, even as a statewide bill to tighten privacy rules for the technology was quietly blocked in the Assembly. The measure would have limited data sharing, required audits, and added privacy training, but law enforcement groups argued it would weaken a key crime-fighting tool. Debate over surveillance, safety, and privacy is set to continue next year.
