Summary
Killingworth, Connecticut, is shutting down its automated license plate readers — the second town in the state to do so — citing better use of funds for speed enforcement. The $14,600 cameras, touted by maker Flock Safety as vital for solving crimes and locating missing persons, now face backlash over privacy concerns and reports of out-of-state agencies using the data for immigration enforcement. After Windsor’s similar move and new state laws blocking cross-border data sharing, Killingworth’s decision underscores the growing tension between public safety tech and individual rights.
