The data is being stored too long and being used inappropriately. Building private databases of our travel patterns, facial recognition, speech recognition, and even the way we walk to identify us is wrong. Big Brother is watching you.

It's a slippery slope. Once they start with this, where will it end?

It's a violation of our privacy and it's not being used for good. It's being used for surveillance. Also, the company is shady as well and the CEO is another term for "not a good guy," if you catch my meaning.

Those who would give up essential liberty for temporary security deserve neither. I believe we should gather the petitions necessary force a vote on a city charter amendment banning surveillance cameras.

Look at a map of the Flock's national coverage. They are developing an electronic prison system. Not bad for criminal control, but not a good thing for honest citizens, especislly if our government's politicians becomes dishonest, like that has never happened

At this point in time, the camera's seem to do far more good than bad.

If the Flock cameras are honest, and they read license plates, why are there expired paper license plates all over town that are years expired?

It's not being used just to control criminals, it's also being used against Republicans

Ask yourself this question, if your wife,daughter, mother or aunt was raped and murdered, and they fled by car wouldn't you want the police to use every tool to catch them ? Flock cams are such a tool, people who worry about civil liberties are the same ones who spill their info on social media.

I am a life long black Columbian who has seen the good and also the ugly about Columbia over the years. Decent people no matter the color of your skin are afraid to go downtown or the business loop because of crime,aggressive vagrants and dope addicts. Mr Choi at least seems to care.

Speak for yourself, as a dark brown skin man I have no problem walking around Columbia Missouri whether it's daylight or night time. I mind my own business and I never ever see any trouble except pigs AKA cops trying to find trouble. If I do see trouble it's usually these drunk college kids downtown

So called city leaders can pretend there is no problem but the facts speak for themselves. There is a public safety issue downtown and it is being caused by a very small segment of the population who the liberal leaders like to pander to.

I think city leaders are trying but not hard enough. I think that % of crime may be going down. But regardless crime is unacceptable in is present state. Our city now has the money to do something serious to stop crime. But it cannot be same old same old and it must include the court system.

He doesn't do nuisance. Just blusters half truths and demands. His fiefdom isn't a democracy, and he doesn't care about our local democratic system or seem to acknowledge that it is a slower process than we would all like. Democracy is for long term stability. Dictatorships are quick but ugly.

Because people in those positions that are not from the same environments and who don't personally interact to learn to understand the deep rooted trauma and dysfunction, that comes with an oppressed race, has no room in my opinion to judge those he's not willing to personally help with personal inv

I don't know what Choi's angle is, but he should focus on running the UM system into the ground.

Because a lot of the people that are complaining about the crime downtown are only watching what the media is putting out there. They're not actually going downtown walking around downtown seeing there's little to no crime. It's all projection. And when there is trouble it's usually the college kids
