OCCU cancels Flock contract
In a statement, the credit union says, quote:
OCCU has decided to discontinue use of license plate reader cameras at all our facilities.
We are in the process of disabling the cameras and removing the equipment.
Our intent with using these cameras was solely to help prevent crimes like robbery and fraud and to keep our members and employees safe.
We take that responsibility very seriously, but we also understand that this technology has raised a lot of questions and concerns.
Flock cameras have been a major topic of discussion in Eugene and Springfield, following those city’s police departments signing contracts with Flock.
