“So how exactly is this information going to be related to the current owners who did not do any of this before? And now they're going to have to change their complete business model. So is there a retroactive? Like what exactly? Because I'm imagining that they would already have individuals who are already pre-registered to have their business operating.

“The point is that there's a lot of things, logistics, that's going to have to change for these individuals who are operating their business because... Well, we caught it, and they shouldn't be doing it. But we didn't have a law that said that.”

“All right, so I'm glad that we brought this conversation back since we didn't actually have a conversation the last time about it. And so now that we have established that we are projected to have over 200 cameras in addition to the red light cameras, in addition to the school cameras, in addition to the fact that I was talking about how many cameras we have per square mile within this city, and within a specific area, I would still like us to have a deeper conversation about whether, wherever, whatever we do tonight about where the placements of these cameras are and reevaluate that…”

“So we have a revision of what this policy looks like. So my question is, prior to all of this happening, these amendments that are these policy points that you just laid out, were these amended to account for this discussion that we're having, or this was already in place?”

“So my next question is, Since we have just recently updated this actual policy and you gave a list of approximately 78 crimes that have possibly been utilized from or current usage of these cameras, correct?”

“And the 200 cameras plus that we have, The specific location of all these, because when I looked at it, it said it started in 2020. So we've been utilizing some version according to the crime list that I got. According to the list that I got that stated when these crimes occurred. I'm looking at the dates, and it said 2020.”

“So we started utilizing these since 2020. So most of these crimes, my point is, it's not necessarily our cameras that were used to capture or utilize or solving these crimes.”

“You're saying that we are reviewing quarterly to figure out whether or not there have been any misuse of this actual program. And who's actually doing those reviews? Are the same people who have access to the report that's actually doing the auditing?”

“So, since we have had this program, I have been voicing my opinions to the chief, correct? About holding the information, how long we're going to have it, who is monitoring. This is not a new conversation to you and I. Maybe we have not done this publicly, but this is not a new conversation. And when I last brought this up to talk about how could we really look at where these are actually in place, can we limit them, nobody wanted to hear me. So to hear we are at this very point again tonight, the same conversation like four weeks later when nobody wanted to hear this conversation, we could…”
