Limits on traffic cameras and license plate readers imposed as people pack Milford special meeting
The short version: Milford residents packed a special meeting and forced limits on traffic cameras and license plate readers after the mayor flagged location, timing, and billing errors.
Our Take
Credit to FOX 61 for covering what happens when a town actually shows up: Milford's special meeting turned into a referendum on automated enforcement, and residents won real limits after officials admitted the systems were misfiring on locations, hours, and fines. This is the pattern we track constantly — vendors pitch flawless robotic enforcement, then the fine print turns out to be riddled with errors that hit regular people in the wallet.
What's notable here isn't just that Milford's mayor called out the defects publicly, it's that the pushback came loud enough to force a policy change in real time. That almost never happens with Flock Safety's ALPR network, where there's rarely a public hearing before cameras go up, let alone a packed room demanding accountability after they're installed.
If you want to see how saturated your own neighborhood already is, check our camera map, and if you'd rather not wait for a billing scandal to force your town's hand, our take-action page has steps for raising this before the cameras go in, not after.
