LAPD halts crime-fighting license plate cameras amid argument over video rights

The LAPD is suspending its deal with a surveillance company that operates license-plate reading cameras over a disagreement with the vendor over who controls the footage, department officials revealed.

The department is halting its ties with Flock Safety, which operates some of the LAPD's network of license plate cameras, amid ongoing contract negotiations, department CIO Dean Gialamas told The Post.
