'Feels unconstitutional.' Flock camera fight heats up in Milford as Gov. Lamont calls for pause

They've got people in an uproar all across the country. And it was on an agenda tonight at a special meeting in Milford. Justin DeVelis was there. Presidents who came out Wednesday night clashed with the chief of police, interrupting him multiple times while he was up on stage. Sir. Sir, I'm going to give you an opportunity to speak. Tensions are boiling over in Milford. This is a wake-up call. This is 1984. This is surveilling people. And what happens with our data? Just last month, a man was arrested for vandalizing multiple flock cameras in town. I don't think the police department can guarantee that our privacy is being protected. Residents packed the auditorium for a special meeting on the use of the cameras. And it got heated. Police argue data from flock cameras help law enforcement solve major crimes. But residents say the tech is too invasive. I'm sure there are some people that might see the use in them. But they're treating us all guilty until proven innocent. They're tracking all of our data so they can go back and look at it just in case we do something wrong. Which just feels unconstitutional. Earlier this month, Governor Lamont called for a pause on new flock cameras. He wants the Police Officer Standards and Training Council to create more thorough guidelines. We put in place some rules in the last legislative session that said you can only keep this information for a limited period of time and you can't give it to ICE or Immigration or Reproductive, those other agencies. We're going to tighten that up. I'm Justin DeVellis, News 12.
