Charlton will keep its Flock cameras, overriding Town Meeting vote
CHARLTON – The Select Board dug its heels in on Flock cameras, declining to suspend the technology at a meeting that saw members clash with each other and the public. The Nov. 10 meeting came after an Oct. 19. Special Town Meeting where attendees overwhelmingly voted in support of a petition requesting the Police Department halt its contract with Flock Safety. The petition, which was nonbinding and also sought the deletion of Charlton driver data, received 245 votes in favor and 56 against. The Oct. 19 vote was met with applause after a half dozen people spoke in favor of doing away with Flock. One person spoke against the petition. "These aren't simply cameras protecting our town, they're part of a growing interconnected surveillance network across America," said resident Michelle Chalmers, the author of the petition, at the October meeting. A month later, the board rebuffed the effort, deciding against taking action on the surveillance technology, which aggregates information on vehicles' license plates and other characteristics in a database that can be queried. "In my opinion, this is a great system. It's protecting our residents. And I will wholeheartedly support not removing it," said Select Board member Barbara Zurawski. Earlier
