So, we’ve talked about #Flock cameras and why they should be destroyed on sight. And it seems some folks are listening. Lots of towns have cancelled their contracts, but now the big boys are starting to cancel. The #LAPD, a department that has never seen a technology they won’t abuse, has dumped Flock. “This contract is not being renewed because of serious concerns around civil liberties and civil rights issues, particularly around privacy and the data that is being collected from these cameras,” LAPD’s chief information officer Dean Gialamas told ABC in a statement. It may have something to do with the fact that 1 in 3 reports are wrong, and the cops keep pulling guns on innocent people… Imagine how this goes when you’re Black, and not a middle class white dude. https://www.thedrive.com/news/how-flock-cameras-wrongly-tracked-me-for-days-over-stolen-plates-and-sent-police-after-me

"The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is reportedly ending its deal with Flock Safety, a surveillance company that helps law enforcement track vehicles using thousands of its license plate cameras placed across the United States. A senior LAPD official told news outlets, first reported by ABC7 and the Los Angeles Times, that the police department would allow its three-year contract with Flock to expire when it ends on Saturday. The department cited “serious concerns” around civil liberties and privacy. Flock’s cameras are operated by the Atlanta, Georgia-based company and not the LAPD. “This contract is not being renewed because of serious concerns around civil liberties and civil rights issues, particularly around privacy and the data that is being collected from these cameras,” LAPD’s chief information officer Dean Gialamas was quoted as saying. “The LAPD had to make a difficult decision, in this case discontinuing using Flock services until we can get those data, privacy, security and sharing concerns ironed out through a contractual relationship.” A spokesperson for the LAPD did not respond to a request for comment from TechCrunch over the weekend, and it’s unclear if Flock’s cameras will continue recording in absence of an active contract. According to ABC7, the police department is seeking new language in its contract addressing privacy and data storage concerns." https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/13/lapd-lets-contract-with-surveillance-giant-flock-expire-citing-serious-concerns-over-civil-liberties-and-privacy/ #USA #LA #LosAngeles #Flock #LAPD #Privacy #Surveillance #CivilLiberties

The LAPD let its Flock Safety contract lapse over privacy and civil-liberties concerns. Its license-plate cameras have flagged innocent drivers as stolen and stored plate data up to 30 days. A major police department walking away from ALPR is rare. #Flock #LAPD #ALPR #indigoprivacy
