University of Minnesota to remove Flock camera after pushback from Cedar-Riverside neighbors

The University of Minnesota Police Department says it will remove one of its Flock Safety cameras following outcry from the Cedar-Riverside community.

Minneapolis City Council Member Jamal Osman and State Rep. Mohamud Noor, DFL-Minneapolis, each said they reached out to the university about taking down the newly installed surveillance device at the intersection of Cedar and Riverside avenues after hearing concerns from residents near the West Bank campus.

“They have agreed to remove the camera behind me to ensure that there is a continued trust with our community across the neighborhood here,” Noor said in a video posted to Facebook.
