## Resource

Indianapolis just hit the pause button on new data centers until the end of 2027 — but three big projects are still moving ahead. On this episode, City-County Councilor Michael Paul Hart breaks down why a blanket moratorium could cost the city economically, how water, noise, and diesel concerns really work, and why “data center” has become a political dirty word. We also get into Flock license plate cameras and police drones — how IMPD actually uses them, what they can (and can’t) see, and where privacy and public safety collide in Indianapolis.
