The Navajo Nation law enforcement is significantly understaffed.
The Nation partnered with Flock, a license plate surveillance program, last week to bring license plate readers to 27,000 square miles of tribal land.
One Navajo citizen said the prospect of Flock cameras on tribal land was “terrifying” and called it an invasion of privacy.
Residents in surrounding areas, like Gallup, New Mexico, have been vocal about their opposition to Flock cameras.
Others have called the cameras a Fourth Amendment violation, arguing that automated license plate readers amount to warrantless surveillance.
