San Diego Council Committee to Weigh Rescinding the Flock License-Plate Reader Policy on October 21: Councilmember Whitburn Now Opposes the Cameras as Mayor Gloria, Who Backs the Technology, Holds Veto Power
San Diego, California, in San Diego County — The City Council's Budget and Government Efficiency Committee is scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. on October 21, with Item 2 on the agenda being a proposal to rescind the City Council's approval of the automated license-plate reader (ALPR) policy governing Flock cameras, according to this week's City Hall agenda.
District 3 Councilmember Stephen Whitburn has changed his position and now opposes the use of Flock surveillance cameras, a shift that, according to local community reporting on the week's agenda, gives the council the votes to block the practice. Mayor Todd Gloria favors the Flock technology and holds veto power.
Other City Hall items this week include a City Council session on October 20 at 10 a.m. covering a federal lobbying contract with Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, and a Community and Neighborhood Services Committee meeting on October 21 at 2 p.m. on amendments to the Short-Term Residential Occupancy Ordinance.
