A group of Richmond residents have rallied in support of extending the Flock Safety contract and reinstating its cameras, arguing that they create a vulnerability for businesses if they do not have these cameras. The city's police shut off Flock cameras last year due to a software configuration error allowing outside law enforcement agencies to access its data. Since installing Flock's automated license plate readers in 2023, there have been nearly 900 cases that led to the identification of a suspect or suspect's vehicle, 272 people have been arrested, 258 stolen vehicles recovered, and 12 homicide cases. The City of Mountain View voted to terminate its contract with Flock after an audit found that its data had been accessed by federal and state law enforcement agents in violation of its approved policies.
