Bandera City Council member Jeff Flowers released a new public letter Friday, May 22, defending his earlier comments regarding the city’s canceled Flock Safety camera program and arguing critics had misinterpreted his remarks as literal proposals rather than satire.
The letter follows Flowers’ May 13 public statement, titled The Bandera Declaration of Digital Independence, which drew local and national attention after proposing a series of sweeping technology bans following the council’s decision to terminate the city’s agreement with Flock Safety Systems.
The original statement was released one day after the Bandera City Council voted 3-2 to terminate the contract with the license plate reader company. Flowers and council member Lynn Palmer voted against ending the agreement.
