About Automated Enforcement
Safe Streets Boston IE-PAC wholeheartedly opposes the mass-surveillance cameras such as Flock and Axon. The unlimited and reckless use of constantly-operated cameras presents a violation of our civil liberties.
Red light cameras and speed cameras, however, are an equitable way to enforce the rules of the road. These cameras only capture images when an infraction is in-progress. Many vendors of these cameras further augment privacy by obscuring any identifiable features except the license plate before the image even leaves the camera. Instead of “going fishing” for a crime as mass-surveillance cameras do, these cameras document bad behavior on our streets only when it happens, with privacy safeguards built in.
