Town Councilmember Goes Berzerk at Surveillance Camera Ban, Threatens to Outlaw Virtually All Modern Technology

Bandera, Texas ended its Flock Safety license-plate surveillance contract in a 3-2 council vote.

Councilmember Jeff Flowers then pushed for sweeping limits on phones, GPS devices, security cameras, internet access, and electronic records.

The fight highlights how backlash against ALPRs can grow into a broader debate over privacy, public safety, and modern technology in small towns.
