Denouncing Sharia Law
The short version: Texas Scorecard's roundup notes more Flock cameras coming down in Central Texas, a small but real sign that local pushback on ALPR surveillance is spreading.
Our Take
Buried in Texas Scorecard's grab-bag of state news is the line that matters most to us: more Flock Safety cameras are getting pulled out of Central Texas communities. The video doesn't dwell on specifics, but even a brief mention confirms what we've been tracking for months — local officials are starting to reconsider contracts they signed with little public input or oversight.
This is how surveillance infrastructure gets rolled back, one city council vote and one canceled contract at a time. It rarely makes national headlines, but every camera removed is a data point proving these systems aren't inevitable. Credit to Texas Scorecard for flagging it alongside the state's bigger political stories, even in passing.
