Rep. Alek Skarlatos, a Republican from Douglas County, and Rep. W***y Chotzen, a Portland Democrat, plan to propose a bill in next year’s Oregon legislative session that would indefinitely ban FLOCK automated cameras statewide.

Flock operates cameras in all 50 states, but a growing number of cities and states are moving to ban or restrict their use.

Law enforcement officials have defended the use of such devices, saying they help locate stolen cars and wanted criminals, including the man suspected of killing five people in Forest Grove last month. But policymakers and civil rights groups have raised concerns.

There are no FLOCK cameras currently located in Clatsop County.
