WINDSOR, CT — Windsor’s automated license plate reader cameras will remain off after a divided Town Council vote against bringing the system back.
The council voted 5-4 on July 6 against reactivating the Police Department’s automated license plate reader cameras, renewing the town’s annual contract with Flock Safety and approving an amended local policy for the system.
The vote came months after the council voted in February to shut off the town’s Flock cameras while officials reviewed the contract, privacy rules and how license plate data could be accessed or shared.
Windsor’s system included 16 fixed license plate reader cameras placed on public rights-of-way near major intersections, roads leading in and out of town and other high-traffic areas, according to information posted by the town.
