Activists and community members packed the St. Louis Board of Aldermen’s Public Safety Committee meeting yesterday to call for stronger police surveillance transparency measures. They say the mayor’s executive order on the topic, which she announced last week, is flimsy and doesn’t offer true accountability. The mayor hoped to use the existence of the executive order to force aldermen to act on red-light and speed cameras with urgency, but aldermen are resisting.
