   LYNNWOOD, Wash. — Lynnwood is ending its use of a controversial   
   surveillance program.   
      
   The Lynnwood City Council voted unanimously on Monday to terminate its   
   contract with Flock Safety, the company that operates automated license   
   plate reader cameras, after concerns that the system was used for   
   immigration enforcement.   
      
   Twenty-five cameras installed near busy intersections have been turned   
   off for months, after questions arose about whether the system had been   
   accessed for immigration-related searches. The city attorney said Monday   
   the cameras will be removed, though no timeline was provided.   
      
   “We know two instances in which the Flock cameras were used for   
   immigration searches: one in Pennsylvania and one in Florida,”   
   Councilmember Isabel Mata said. “This was because a switch was pointed   
   at a nationwide search. It was a configuration or misconfiguration at   
   that point.”
