Mayflower Removes License Plate Cameras | Little Rock News

Mayflower, Arkansas, has become the first city in the state to completely remove its controversial license plate reader cameras — a bold move following growing public outcry over privacy invasion. After suspending use earlier, officials now say they’re done with mass surveillance tech and won’t pursue alternatives. This follows similar decisions by neighboring cities like Farmington, while others such as Siloam Springs and Fort Smith are embracing transparency portals. Though the Arkansas Chiefs of Police still support the tech, Mayflower’s action signals a shifting tide across Northwest Arkansas, where residents’ privacy concerns are winning out over surveillance.
