Perris 市议会3比2暂停 Flock 车牌识别合同 成内陆帝国首城
Perris — 位于加利福尼亚州河滨县的 Perris 市议会11月10日晚以3比2表决，暂停该市与监控技术公司 Flock Safety 的自动车牌识别服务协议，成为内陆帝国地区第一个暂停与该公司合同的城市。市长 Michael Vargas 与市议员 David Starr Rabb 投反对票，主张续约。
摆上市议会桌面的是一份为期两年、总价616,584美元的续约方案。市议会最初于2024年3月26日批准与 Flock Safety 的两年协议，购置并安装车牌识别摄像头，此前同类服务由 Vigilant Solutions 提供；原协议已于今年6月30日到期，此后按月延续，等市议会决定是否续约。河滨县警长办公室 Perris 分站站长 Kevin Lamb 上尉在会上说，该市现有104台 Flock 车牌识别摄像头，供执法部门协助查找被盗车辆、失踪与处境危险人员及刑事调查。
当晚，市议会收到6封反对续约的来信，另有15名居民在会上发言、全部反对，理由集中在隐私、执法滥用，以及数据被与外部机构共享的风险。投下暂停票的市议员 Marisela Nava 表示，她对这套工具有严重的顾虑，它并没有让她的社区感到更安全，未来若有更好的保障与规管，市议会届时可再考虑类似项目。另一名投暂停票的市议员 Malcolm Corona 说，市府当初引入车牌识别技术的初衷之一，是打击车辆盗窃。
表决中，全体市议员都明确表示支持为 Perris 提供执法服务的县警长办公室副警长。此次暂停不等于永久禁用，协议今后是否恢复或改订，仍由市议会后续决定。

Perris City Council Votes 3-2 to Suspend Flock License Plate Reader Contract, a First in the Inland Empire
PERRIS — The City Council of Perris, in Riverside County, California, voted 3-2 on the night of November 10 to suspend the city's agreement with surveillance technology company Flock Safety for automated license plate reader services, making Perris the first city in the Inland Empire to suspend a contract with the company. Mayor Michael Vargas and Councilmember David Starr Rabb voted against suspension, favoring renewal.
Before the council was a two-year renewal priced at $616,584 in total. The council first approved a two-year Flock Safety agreement on March 26, 2024, to purchase and install license plate recognition cameras, replacing a previous contract with Vigilant Solutions for the same service. That agreement expired on June 30 and has continued month to month since, pending the council's renewal decision. Capt. Kevin Lamb of the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, commander of the Perris Station, told the meeting the city currently has 104 Flock license plate reader cameras, which deputies use to help locate stolen vehicles and missing or endangered persons and to support criminal investigations.
The council received six letters opposing renewal, and 15 residents spoke at the meeting, all against the contract, citing privacy, the risk of misuse by law enforcement, and the sharing of data with outside agencies. Councilmember Marisela Nava, who voted to suspend, said she has serious concerns about the tool and that it is not making her community feel safe, adding that if better safeguards or regulations exist in the future, the council could consider a similar program at that time. Councilmember Malcolm Corona, who also voted to suspend, said combating vehicle theft was one of the main reasons the city originally pursued license plate reader technology.
Every council member was explicit about supporting the sheriff's deputies who provide law enforcement services in Perris. The suspension is not a permanent ban, and whether the agreement is later restored or replaced remains for the council to decide.
