I hope the whole city council gets their cars stolen.  I hope all the city cars and trucks get stolen.  This is eggregious.  The voting public will hopefully right this wrong headed decision. 

The Denver City Council has voted unanimously to shutter a highly successful anti-theft auto license plate tracking system. The system was not closed due to concerns about privacy or finances. It was shut down because Democratic members believed that ICE could use the data to deport illegals.

In May, the council refused to renew the $666,000 contract with Flock for camera monitors around 70 Denver intersections to screen for car theft. That system resulted in the recovery of 170 stolen cars and 300 arrests. It is also credited with key evidence in the investigation of hit-and-run and murder cases.

However, it could also be used to assist ICE, and that is all that matters. Councilman Kevin Flynn explained it is all about Trump’s election: “We know that it can help solve crime. But I think since maybe Jan. 20 of this year, those concerns are greatly heightened and have a new reality about them.”

Ridiculous.

Oh and wait for insurance premiums to skyrocket.   The D's with their virtue signalling will wreck the city.

Their reasoning completely ignores the will of the law abiding citizens and is entirely abominable.

He’d recognize it as the communist enterprise that it is.

This is not the Democrat party and we don't know who JFK is.

You could argue they are doing it for the wrong reasons, but it's for the best.  Flock camera systems have always been a huge privacy concern and the reason for their removal in Denver does boil down to a "concern about concern."  It's just they finally violated privacy in a way the lawmakers finalyl cared about.  Law enforement in many areas have access to the tracking that these systems provide without a warrant making it ripe for abuse.

I wouldn't want these in my city regardless of whether or not it might recover my stolen car.

Remember, these are the heartful people.  Quality of life, down.  Heartful.  Costs up.  Heartful.  Using data designed to catch criminals to catch criminals - heartless.  Denver will ban using fingerprints and DNA evidence soon because some criminal might be caught.
