Police used a series of drive-by shootings as a reason to secretly install a bunch of flock cameras without telling the city counsel or the public.
It is unclear if the Mayor knew about the deal.
City council found out from complaints, investigated, and paused funding for the cameras until they could talk to flock about security and public safety concerns.
Mayor decided to declare a state of emergency to override city counsel.
City counsel is now suing the Mayor.
The cameras are still being funded and still operational.
Sounds to me like more public officials need to be recalled via non confidence vote. Starting with this mayor.
Agreed. Often though, Judges are elected. So unless the lawsuit is successful, the constituency don’t have a whole lot of avenues besides protest and recalling the mayor and possibly judges.

I mean city council at least appear to be attempting their job. Not sure what else they can do while staying within the system.
