LAPD suspended its relationship with Flock Safety because of unresolved concerns about data privacy, ownership, and sharing. Flock CEO Garrett Langley says the cameras simply photograph vehicles and license plates, do not use facial recognition, and have helped solve serious crimes. While privacy advocates remain concerned about surveillance and data use, both Flock and LAPD say they are working toward a new agreement that could restore the partnership.  

GV Wire reports that Fresno police conduct thousands of Flock camera searches every month, but department audits reportedly review only three searches for compliance. Critics say that may not be enough oversight for a powerful surveillance tool, while police maintain the cameras have helped solve homicides and shootings and remain an important public-safety resource.
