Flock camera presentation on Wednesday’s Liberty Hill city council meeting agenda
The short version: KVUE reports Liberty Hill's city council will hear a Flock Safety pitch Wednesday — another small Texas town facing the ALPR decision before residents even know it's on the table.
Our Take
This is the pattern we see over and over: a camera company gets a few minutes on a city council agenda, pitches the "public safety" case, and a town that may have never had a serious conversation about surveillance is suddenly one vote away from a network of license plate readers logging every car that passes through. KVUE's short notice about Liberty Hill is exactly the kind of local meeting that flies under the radar — no big headline, just an agenda item — yet it's where these systems actually get approved or rejected.
Credit to KVUE for even flagging it, because most of these presentations happen with zero press coverage and a nearly empty council chamber. The sales pitch always sounds the same: it's about stolen cars and missing kids. What doesn't get mentioned is that every plate read, including yours, gets stored, shared across jurisdictions, and kept out of reach of any real public accounting of who looked at it and why.
If you're in Liberty Hill or anywhere nearby, this is the moment to show up, ask where the data goes, who audits it, and how long it's retained before the vote happens, not after.
