“many of the tents lie on city property, including the former fairgrounds tract that Council bought for $5.6 million in 2023 to prevent its development,” Such an own-goal by the city and the residents who blocked this development. Would be pretty nice to that money and homes about now.
Livable Cville@livablecville.bsky.social · 3w ago“Where are we supposed to go?” Until the city can give a clear answer to this question, it will be hard to view this action as much more than another reshuffling of the deck for people experiencing homelessness. If the city has a plan, it needs to be shared asap. archive.ph/2026.07.14-1...
![Mr. Langley,
Thank you for the information regarding the security of the Flock ALPR systems. Knowing that they are all compliant with the FBI's stringent CJIS standards is helpful. We also appreciate your willingness to amend 5.3 of our existing contract to read that regarding the [Disclosure of Footage] Subject to and during the Retention Period, Flock may access, use, preserve and/or disclose the Footage pursuant to Virginia Code Section 2.2-5517.
As far as your assertion that we are currently under attack, I do not believe that this is so. I have dedicated the last 41 years of my life to serving the citizens of the City of Staunton as a police officer, the last 22 as the police chief. What we are seeing here is a group of local citizens who are raising concerns that we could be potentially surveilling private citizens, residents and visitors and using the data for 1
nefarious purposes These citizens have been exercising their rights to receive answers from me, my staff, and city officials, to include our elected leaders. In short, it is democracy in action.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cjfcz3t36f6nrprarkhkycxo/bafkreiaeb52vlxppdgmgghz5syrexgnmyfkucpwot3ke32ylsznovypruy)
