community backlash has pushed the mayor of Milford, Connecticut, to recommend
suspending all speed and red light cameras and most flock cameras in the
city. But some residents say it's still not enough. Justin develops reports
while the recommendation is being made to the board of Alderman, the mayor
says he still wants block cameras located on the city's border to remain
active to help track stolen cars and help police with other crimes. No, no,
not nearly enough. He needs to take down all the cameras. Major changes
could soon be coming to Milford's automated traffic enforcement and
license plate reader programs. Many Milford residents have raised legitimate
questions and have listened. The mayor is recommending to suspend all speed
and red light cameras so the city can review locations, hours the cameras are
operating fines, hearing procedures and more. The mayor is also recommending to
suspend all flock cameras in the city except the ones on Milford's borders,
like the ones near I-95 in the Merritt Parkway. But these cameras will not
exist within our community.
Nobody can be tracked or follow their surveil. Residents, though, say it's
still not enough. He is enabling a surveillance state, and this is not
what the people of Milford wants. And so he either needs to bend to the will of
the people or he needs to resign in disgrace. A special meeting of the
Alders is set for Thursday night. I think it goes part of the way there. It
doesn't go all of the way there. Any of fines that have gone out to the Milford
residents should be immediately reimbursed back to the residents. I know
Milford taxpayers would appreciate that. I'm Justin develops News 12.
