82 Cities Beat Flock - Then This Happened

Powerhouse Realty Florida · 2 months ago

The short version: Powerhouse Realty Florida tracks a wave of cities dropping Flock contracts and flags a fresh Florida twist worth watching closely.

Our Take

Powerhouse Realty Florida is doing something useful here: tallying up the growing list of cities that have walked away from Flock Safety contracts and asking what comes next. Whether the number lands at exactly 82 or shifts as more councils vote, the trend line matters more than any single count — local governments are starting to notice that ALPR networks come with real civil liberties costs, not just a marketing pitch about catching stolen cars.

The "twist" angle is the part to watch. Cancellations rarely mean the cameras actually come down overnight, and vendors have a track record of rebranding, renegotiating, or quietly reappearing under a new line item once public attention fades. A Florida-specific development is worth extra scrutiny given how aggressively Flock has pushed into the state and how little oversight many local contracts actually require.

Credit to the creator for keeping this on the radar — these local government stories don't get the coverage they deserve. If you want to see how dense Flock's footprint is in your own area, check our camera map, and if your city hasn't had this fight yet, our action page has the tools to start one.
