Flock Cameras are causing a stir around the country and here at home

Our Take

When a police chief has to stand up at a city council meeting and insist he's "clearing up misinformation," that's usually a sign the public asked exactly the right questions. KTVN 2 News Nevada's report on Reno Chief Corey Solferino's remarks captures a pattern we've seen play out in city after city: residents learn Flock Safety cameras are logging every car that passes, officials get nervous about the optics, and the response is reassurance rather than reform.

The problem is that reassurance isn't the same as accountability. Flock's ALPR network doesn't just catch stolen cars — it builds a searchable record of where everyone drives, data that can be queried by other agencies, shared across state lines, and retained far longer than most residents assume. "Misinformation" framing lets departments avoid the harder conversation about audit logs, retention limits, and who actually has access once the cameras go up.

Reno families deserve more than a press-conference rebuttal — they deserve public audit trails, hard retention caps, and a real say before more cameras get bolted to poles.
