A young man goes to the ER for high blood pressure in the MountainView Hospital and Medical Center Las Vegas, Nevada.

A 15-year resident of District 4 named Brett has recently made headlines in Corona for his stance on privacy. With a long career as an IT network architect, he launched an initiative called Deflock Corona to push the City Council to end its contract with Flock Safety, a company that provides license plate reading cameras. He’s been vocal at recent council meetings, sharing his personal concern that cameras placed between his house and his daughter’s school are tracking his family's daily routines and storing that data in a corporate database. Since District 4 is up for election this year, his efforts have sparked a lot of conversation among neighbors about how much surveillance the city actually needs.
