No ALPRs Virtual Town Hall in Broward County - Aug 16
By FLDR Broward
Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are cameras which scan millions of plates daily, giving police enormous unchecked power that challenges our constitutional rights. In Florida there are about 7,000 cameras. In Broward County alone, there are about 800 cameras. If this number continues to grow exponentially, it could be possible for the government to obtain a detailed pattern of your life without a warrant. Public safety matters, but these ALPR contracts are being enacted with little to no public input or government acountability.
During this town hall, we'll discuss:
- How ALPR technology works and where it's being used in South Florida.
- Why is this an issue? Surveillance vs safety
- What local residents can do to take action against expansion of ALPRs
- Questions from community members during a live Q&A.
Join this virtual meeting to learn about surveillance technology, ask questions, receive tools on how to get contracts cancelled in your city within South Florida. Hosted by Florida Digital Rights (FLDR) Broward.
