Show Notes
Denvers police chief, Ron Thomas, is advocating for a new license plate reader camera system with Axon, addressing privacy concerns that led to the shutdown of the Flock system. The new setup, which reduces the number of cameras from 111 to 50, focuses on high-crime areas and ensures data privacy, as Denver retains ownership and control. The system allows for manual assistance in out-of-town investigations but restricts direct access for other agencies. The deal, valued at under $500,000, is set to be approved by the city council, potentially providing a balanced solution for public safety and privacy.
