Why are cities cancelling Flock?

The sources above give a few repeated reasons. Plymouth, Minnesota cited data privacy and falling public trust. Fresno said it found data-sharing activity that raised concerns. Cambridge ended its contract after Flock technicians installed two cameras the city did not know about. Texas and Florida state actions pushed others: the Texas governor froze state funding for Flock cameras on August 28, and Florida's transportation department revoked highway permits for plate readers. Los Angeles let its contract expire after an inspector general audit found cameras wrongly flagged 161 vehicles as stolen. League City is the one place here where voters decided.

Has my city cancelled Flock?

Type your city or county into the filter above the table. If it is not listed, that does not mean it has kept Flock: we list only decisions we could confirm from a source. Check your city council's agendas and minutes, or ask the agency for its Flock agreement and any renewal or non-renewal notices.

Are Flock cameras removed after a city cancels?

Not always, and not right away. A vote ends the contract; the hardware comes down later. El Cerrito's contract ended in early June and about half its cameras were still up in mid-August. Fort Myers Beach voted in September and its cameras were still standing, deactivated, on November 6. Henrico County sent its own crews on October 31 after Flock missed the removal deadline. A city vote also covers only the cameras the city pays for.

How we check each row, and how to report one

A row goes in only when we have read a primary record (a council vote, a city or county statement) or a named news report that says what happened, and it gives the place, the action and a date. We open the source on the date shown in Last checked. Where a source is unclear, the row stays out. Dates are the decision or announcement date, not the day the last camera came down; a month alone means the source gave no day. Cancelled means a terminated contract, Not renewed a contract left to expire, Paused cameras switched off pending review, Removed a vote or order to take cameras down, Ended use a stop with no contract detail stated, and Voted down a rejected referendum.

Know a decision we are missing, or see a wrong date? Send the place and a link to the vote, statement or report to FlockDetour@gmail.com. We add a row after we have read the source.

Last checked November 10, 2026. Other trackers count more places because they include decisions we have not yet confirmed.
