Idaho senator: public safety is not an excuse for surveillance of the innocent

Idaho State Sen. Tammy Nichols: catching criminals and recovering stolen cars is not a blank check for watching people who are not suspects. Directs constituents to Flock cameras and ALPRs.
Why it is in the file
State-legislator primary source from the right, useful when the Flock fight is framed as only a coastal-privacy issue.
Most Idahoans support law enforcement catching criminals, recovering stolen vehicles, and finding dangerous suspects. But public safety should never become an excuse for government surveillance of innocent citizens.
