A Milwaukee County parks committee voted unanimously Tuesday to remove 42 Flock license plate reader cameras from county park property, sending the proposal to the full County Board for a final vote Thursday. The resolution calls for uninstalling the cameras and opposes using them to track people’s movements. Supporters have raised concerns about the data collected by the system and the potential for surveillance in public spaces. “I absolutely agree with divorcing Flock. Let’s get them out of the county,” resident Sky Capriolo said. The proposal also drew objections from people who said the cameras can help address crime. “What is going to be done to prevent crime if you eliminate this? Cameras help because we know we don’t have enough of them,” Steve Taylor said. Committee member Priscilla Coggs-Jones said the decision put safety first. Members said the county could consider using its existing cameras with a different technology system, but Sheldon Wasserman said they would avoid both license plate recognition and the Flock brand. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has said he plans not to renew the county’s Flock contract in 2027. The committee vote advances a separate step focused specifically on removing the cameras from parks; the full board’s decision will determine whether the resolution moves forward.
