Flock camera misuse promptS public town hall in Cobb County

A new push in Fulton County for more to be done about the abuse of flock cameras by law enforcement employees. According to former Fulton County District 4 Commissioner Natalie Hall, there have been almost 40 alleged incidents involving officers and civilian employees and Metro Atlanta and more than 70 across the state. Today, she called on local and state legislatures to legislators to put more guardrails in place when it comes to this technology. As an I. T. Management professional for over 30 years, I've seen a lot of new technology. So I know that every technology that is going to dive into personal information needs those guardrails. It needs the restrictions and yes, we do need the data centers, but we also need the same legislation to keep people's data safe. Paul outlined her plan to address the illegal use of these cameras. It's a five point plan that she plans to implement if she's elected in Cobb County. Residents will have another chance to voice their concerns over flock camera safety this week. So the police department will hold a community town hall this Tuesday evening, 6 30 to eight. That will be at the North Cobb Senior Center in Ackworth. Department leaders will answer questions regarding license plate readers, surveillance policies and privacy concerns.
