Summary
Cleveland’s license plate cameras, deployed by Flock since last year, are hanging by a thread—Flock will let them stay online until July 15th, but the City Council must approve a new one-year $250K contract or they’ll vanish. The mayor insists the cameras are vital for catching serious criminals, but Councilman Michael Polensek demands proof—only three convictions tied to the cameras so far. He’s skeptical the system’s value justifies the cost, even as he admits Cleveland likely needs some form of license plate tech. The clock is ticking: decide by July 15th—or lose the cameras.
