City Council | Regular Meeting - August 25, 2026
The short version: Scottsdale's council livestream is exactly the kind of public record residents should watch closely for any ALPR or Flock Safety contract talk.
Our Take
This is Scottsdale's own recording of its August 25 council meeting, posted straight from the city's channel. We don't know yet whether license plate readers or a Flock Safety contract came up on the agenda, but these routine council sessions are where surveillance deals get quietly approved — often buried in consent agendas with little public debate. If you live in or near Scottsdale, it's worth watching the full meeting yourself rather than relying on a headline.
This is exactly the gap DeFlock exists to close. City council footage rarely gets the scrutiny it deserves, and by the time residents notice a new bank of cameras on their commute, the contract is already signed and the data-sharing agreements are already in place. Local government meetings are public record for a reason — use them.
Check our camera map to see what's already been deployed near you, and if Scottsdale is moving on ALPR infrastructure, head to take-action for ways to make your voice heard before the next vote.
