- The council directed the city manager to explore alternative vendors for ALPR services as advocates pursue a lawsuit seeking warrant requirements and an end to the Flock contract.
- Milwaukee Police Department revoked database access for most officers after a former officer was charged with alleged misuse, with updated authorization rules set to be detailed Thursday.
- Michigan state representatives introduced bipartisan bills to require deletion of ALPR data after 14 days unless it is tied to a specific investigation, with the proposals sent to the House Judiciary Committee.
