9.7.2026: More DeFlocking
The short version: Texas Scorecard's roundup flags more Flock camera removals across Texas, a small but telling sign that local pushback on ALPR surveillance keeps spreading.
Our Take
Texas Scorecard buried the lede a bit by sandwiching "More Flock Cameras Removed Around Texas" between school choice budgets and a Sharia law resolution, but that two-minute segment matters more than its runtime suggests. When a statewide outlet treats Flock removals as routine enough to mention in a daily roundup, it tells you something: this isn't a one-off controversy in one city council meeting anymore. It's becoming a recurring Texas story.
We don't have the specifics on which towns pulled cameras this time or why, and we're not going to guess. But the pattern we've tracked for months holds: local officials sign Flock contracts fast, then face pushback once residents realize their daily movements are being logged, stored, and shared with outside agencies with little oversight. Each removal is a data point in a much bigger fight over who controls that information and how long it sticks around.
If you want to know whether a Flock camera is watching your commute right now, check our map. And if your town hasn't had this conversation yet, our take-action page has what you need to start it before the contract gets signed, not after.
