137 Local Governments Have Cancelled Flock Contracts #Shorts
The short version: A short from Flock U claims 137 local governments have dropped Flock Safety contracts, a sign that ALPR pushback is becoming a real political trend.
Our Take
Flock U's short is light on detail, but the headline number — 137 local governments reportedly walking away from Flock Safety contracts — is worth sitting with. Whether that tally comes from public records requests, council minutes, or crowdsourced tracking, it points to something we've been saying for a while: the "every town needs this" sales pitch is starting to crack once officials actually read the data-sharing agreements, the audit logs, and the price tags attached to a camera network that quietly feeds plate scans into a nationwide search system.
Cancellations don't happen in a vacuum. They happen because residents show up to council meetings, ask who can query the database and why, and push back when the answer is "basically anyone with a login and a reason they don't have to prove." That's the fight this channel is chronicling in short-form bites, and it's the same fight we track block by block on our camera map.
If your town is still debating a contract — or just renewed one without a public vote — don't wait for it to become number 138 on someone's list after the fact.
