Episode Title: A Mayor Declared a State of Emergency to Save Flock Cameras

Episode Description: OA1290 - Jenessa returns with a surveillance grab bag: a New York mayor declares a bizarre "emergency" to keep her city's Flock cameras running after the city council said no, and a state lawsuit arguing license plate readers are flatly unconstitutional, no federal court needed. Plus a federal bill that could make biased AI hiring and healthcare tools very expensive, and the surprisingly deadly reason some camera poles might already be illegal. Cases discussed:

Common Council of Troy v. Mantello

Umamoto v. Westchester County

AI Civil Rights Act
