Ian logan for Warren County Commissioner - Pine Hill Walk #deflock #datacenter #Warrencounty

Ian Logan · 1 week ago

The short version: A Warren County commissioner candidate ties ALPR surveillance and a local data center project together in a neighborhood walk-and-talk video, spotlighting how county-level races decide Flock's fate.

Our Take

Ian Logan's campaign clip from his Pine Hill walk is a reminder that the fight over Flock Safety cameras isn't just a federal or state story — it gets decided at the county commission level, by names most voters have never heard of. Tagging the video #deflock alongside #datacenter and #warrencounty suggests Logan sees a connection worth making: surveillance infrastructure and data center build-outs tend to travel together, both sold to local boards as "public safety" or "economic development" with little public debate.

We can't verify every claim in a campaign video, and we're not in the business of endorsements. But the format itself matters — a candidate walking his own neighborhood, talking directly to constituents about ALPR contracts, is exactly the kind of grassroots accountability that keeps county commissions from rubber-stamping surveillance deals in the dark. Credit to Logan for putting the issue on the record ahead of an election.

If you live in Warren County or anywhere else, don't wait for a candidate to bring this to your doorstep — check our camera map to see what's already watching your streets, and use our take-action guide to push your own commissioners for transparency before the next contract gets signed.
