Inver Grove Heights City Council Candidate Forum | September 15, 2026
The short version: A routine Inver Grove Heights council forum is a reminder that local elections—not just Congress—decide whether Flock cameras keep multiplying in your town.
Our Take
Town Square Television's recording of the Inver Grove Heights City Council candidate forum won't grab headlines, but it's exactly the kind of civic footage that matters most. Candidates spent over two hours fielding questions about the issues residents actually live with, and surveillance infrastructure decisions—whether to add, expand, or audit ALPR contracts—are almost always made at this level, not in Washington.
We don't know from the description alone whether Flock Safety or license plate readers came up directly in this forum, and we won't pretend otherwise. But that's the point: these are the meetings where it happens, often with little scrutiny, long before a city quietly signs a multi-year camera contract. If you live in Inver Grove Heights or anywhere nearby, watching how your council candidates talk about budgets, policing, and data contracts is the cheapest due diligence you'll ever do.
Credit to Town Square Television for getting this on the public record. Check our camera map to see what's already deployed near you, and if your city hasn't had this conversation yet, use our take-action resources to make sure it does before the cameras go up, not after.
