Woman Arrested, Dragged Away After Speaking About Flock at City Council Meeting

Two people were arrested at a Springfield, Missouri city council meeting on September 22 after attempting to speak against the city's use of Flock automatic license plate reader cameras. Mayor Jeff Schrag cut off public comment on a resolution that would have triggered a review of the controversial surveillance systems, and police arrested Mia Heider and detained Noah Powell as tensions escalated when citizens objected to the suppression of discussion.
