What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The San Francisco Democratic Party voted on two resolutions regarding Flock surveillance cameras. A majority passed the measure proposed by Matt Dorsey, which affirmed trust in the city's existing use of the cameras. Conversely, the resolution proposed by Gordon Mar, which called for increased guardrails and consideration of contract suspension, was rejected. Both sides acknowledged that Flock camera data was illegally accessed more than 1.6 million times in 2024 and 2025, with some searches reaching out-of-state agencies like ICE.
