SANDY BOYCE | SEDONA CAMERAS REMOVED
The short version: Sandy Boyce explains how Sedona residents got Flock cameras pulled, offering a replicable transparency-and-pressure playbook for other towns.
Our Take
Sedona's win is the kind of story we love to amplify: ordinary residents pulled the contract, asked hard questions at council meetings, and got Flock Safety's ALPR network yanked out of their town. Sandy Boyce of LiveFreeAZ.com lays out the mechanics in this conversation with Jen's Two Cents, and it's worth watching because removal stories are still rare enough that each one is a template for the next fight.
What stands out is how unglamorous the actual work is — public records requests, reading vendor agreements line by line, showing up repeatedly to ask officials to justify why a private company's cameras are logging every car that passes through town. That's the blueprint: transparency first, then sustained public pressure. No city wants to explain in a packed meeting why it quietly outsourced surveillance infrastructure to a third party with little oversight.
