Chandler Cameras Shift Amid Community Pushback

Chandler’s Flock cameras are back — but not where residents expected. After five were removed from the predominantly Hispanic Galveston neighborhood, three new ones now sit nearby, sparking outrage over surveillance in residential zones. The city claims the new spots are on major roads, not streets where people live — but critics remain skeptical. This all ties to a controversial $150K contract with Flock Safety, whose license plate readers raise alarms about federal data access, even as police deny any outside agencies are involved. With 40 cameras total — originally aimed at gun crimes — the city’s shifting strategy is under fire as community voices demand accountability and transparency.
