2025-2026 Flock Camera Expansion

Our Take

Credit to Live Laugh & Laughmas for putting a spotlight on where Flock Safety's network is headed next. Whatever the specifics turn out to be, the pattern is familiar by now: a company that started with a handful of pilot cities has scaled into a nationwide system reading plates in neighborhoods whose residents often never voted on it, never saw a council agenda item, and have no idea the data is being pooled into a searchable, cross-jurisdictional database.

That's the real story behind every "expansion" headline. It's not just more poles with cameras on them — it's more agencies plugging into the same network, more retention windows stacking up, and more opportunities for that location data to be misused, breached, or shared with federal agencies without local sign-off. Growth projections like these are worth watching closely, because by the time a system is fully built out, the chance to have a real public debate about it has usually already passed.
