Today's riddle: What has a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Brookfield alderwoman calls for review of Brookfield's use of Flock cameras (gmtoday.com) — A Brookfield alderwoman is urging the city to thoroughly review its use of Flock Safety license plate cameras before the current contract quietly renews in 2027. She wants clearer safeguards, transparency about how driver data is used and shared, and full Common Council oversight, especially after a recent mistaken high-risk stop tied to outdated Flock information.
• Rep. Neylon honored with Legislative Champion Award (gmtoday.com) — Brookfield residents are represented in Madison by Rep. Adam Neylon, who just received a Legislative Champion Award from the Wisconsin Dermatological Society for his work on health care policy and non-compete reform. His efforts aim to improve physician mobility and patient access statewide, which could affect how easily Brookfield patients find specialists and how local clinics recruit doctors.
• Innocent Drivers Held at Gunpoint After Milwaukee PD Failed to Delete Flock Alert (motorbiscuit.com) — Brookfield drivers were held at gunpoint on I‑94 after a Flock license plate reader wrongly flagged their vehicle as tied to a Milwaukee homicide case, because Milwaukee police failed to remove an outdated alert. Brookfield officers followed the system's warning, then discovered the mistake, prompting renewed concerns about how shared surveillance data and Flock alerts can endanger innocent people.
