‘Cameras do not make us safe’: Flock vote opens wider debate over surveillance in Cleveland

The decision came after a heated discussion that lasted over two hours, reflecting concerns over privacy and the effectiveness of such cameras. This move could signal a shift in how cities balance safety measures with individual rights, highlighting the broader implications for privacy in an increasingly monitored society.
