Quick Opportunity for Action - if you wanna say something about Flock (license plate readers)
Hello all!
If you have concerns about Flock and license plate readers, you should know that...
wrapped up in federal discussions of a highway bill there is an amendment being crafted that would BAN funding for such systems in all states as money is spent to improve our roads. I'm not a politician, just a concerned resident, so I'm sorry if I'm not explaining this well. From my understanding, this amendment presents a great opportunity to contact your congressional rep and tell them what you think about license plate readers.

Support for the amendment means BANNING plate readers for anything but tolls.
Not supporting this amendment means highway funds can be spent on license plate readers including ones like Flock.
This amendment is all happening NOW! so get those calls in if you care to! I just left a voicemail with Gabe and it took a lot less time than writing this post.
