Impact analysis
The hearing itself doesn’t spend city money, but any new rules or contract changes could affect Albany’s surveillance budget and future Flock costs.
Privacy-minded residents and civil-liberties advocates get a platform and could gain clearer safeguards if the hearing leads to stricter oversight.
If tighter rules limit camera use, police and agencies relying on Flock for investigations could lose a tool, and camera vendors may face more contract scrutiny.
