Sterling Heights Council Debates Controversial Flock ALPR Technology Amidst Resident Concerns
The Sterling Heights City Council engaged in a lengthy discussion regarding the use of Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology by the Police Department.

The Police Chief and a detective defended the technology, highlighting its effectiveness in solving crimes, its current limitations (no facial recognition, only plate/vehicle identification), and recent improvements in auditing practices and transparency. Council members expressed mixed views, with some supporting the technology as a vital law enforcement tool and others sharing residents' concerns about civil liberties and data security.
