Measure P committee decision on Flock Safety and Anox Contract #flocksafety #vallejo
The short version: A Vallejo community channel captures a Measure P committee weighing in on Flock Safety and an Anox-related contract, underscoring how local oversight bodies are where ALPR fights actually get decided.
Our Take
Credit to 14 Cases Of Act Right for putting a camera in the room where this kind of decision actually happens. Most Flock Safety deals get rubber-stamped in budget line items or consent agendas nobody reads — a Measure P committee actually debating the contract terms is the rare moment where residents get a say before the cameras go up, not after.
We don't have the full contract language or vote outcome ourselves, so we're not going to speculate on specifics here. But the broader pattern is familiar: a city brings in Flock (sometimes bundled with other vendors like Anox) under the banner of public safety, and the actual guardrails — data retention, who can query the system, audit access — get hashed out after the hardware's already ordered. Committees like this one are the last real chokepoint before that becomes permanent infrastructure.
If you're in Vallejo or anywhere else watching a similar contract move through your city, check our map to see what's already deployed nearby, and hit take action for templates on getting public records and showing up to the meetings that actually matter.
