Tensions remain high over surveillance cameras in Milford
The short version: Milford residents and officials clashed again over ALPRs, with WFSB 3's Logan Perrone reporting the fight over camera surveillance is far from settled.
Our Take
Credit to WFSB 3 and reporter Logan Perrone for staying on this story — because Milford is a perfect snapshot of what's happening in towns across the country. A police department wants more "eyes" on the road, city officials weigh the political cost, and residents show up to ask the questions that too often get skipped: who sees this data, how long is it kept, and what happens when it's wrong or misused. The fact that tensions are still "high" after another meeting tells you this isn't a settled issue, no matter how city hall might frame it.
That's exactly the pattern we track here — a rollout gets sold as a narrow safety tool, then the scope quietly expands, and by the time the public pushes back, the cameras are already up and running. Milford deserves real answers before that happens, not after. If you want to see whether ALPRs are already watching your own streets, check our map, and if you're ready to push back locally, our take-action guide walks you through it.
