A Mayor Declared a State of Emergency to Save Flock Cameras

from Opening Arguments

OA1290 - Jenessa returns with a surveillance grab bag: a New York mayor declares a bizarre "emergency" to keep her city's Flock cameras running after the city council said no, and a state lawsuit arguing license plate readers are flatly unconstitutional, no federal court needed. Plus a federal bill that could make biased AI hiring and healthcare tools very expensive, and the surprisingly deadly reason some camera poles might already be illegal. Cases discussed: Common Council of Troy v. Mantello Umamoto v. Westchester County AI Civil Rights Act Check out the OA Linktree for all the places to go and things to do!
