Colleyville Mayor Bobby Lindamood has responded, again, to Current Revolt’s coverage of the city’s pattern-of-life spy cameras, which track and trace Texans without a warrant and store it all on a private company’s servers.
Colleyville is “solid,” he says, and the city’s Flock transparency page “contained incorrect information about immigration enforcement,” which “has already been corrected.”
Notice that “Traffic enforcement” is a listed as a prohibited for Flock cameras by the Colleyville PD.
Colleyville police are searching for it, actually. The city's log, the one it handed over for $0, shows Colleyville officers typed "Traffic Infraction" as the reason for a search over 100 times, and outside agencies searched Colleyville’s cameras over 348,000 times with the reason stated “Traffic Infraction.”
So the page the mayor corrected on Friday is still wrong. It’s just wrong about traffic now instead of immigration.
Great job!
