## Resource

St. Albans just made history as the first city in Kanawha County to officially reject Flock AI surveillance cameras, citing privacy concerns and a commitment to supporting local police and fire departments instead of funding invasive tech. Vice Mayor Jared Page led the charge, arguing that constant surveillance undermines civil liberties and that taxpayer dollars would be better spent on community resources. While the resolution passed the committee, it still awaits final approval from the full city council — but this bold move signals a growing resistance to AI surveillance across the region.
