St. Lucie County in Florida removed 12 unpermitted Flock cameras from public roads, but will not investigate the ownership of seven that were not claimed by city law enforcement. Five cameras were linked to police departments in Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce, though neither Flock nor the departments confirmed who issued the installation guidance. A Flock spokesperson said the cameras belonged to several customers, but the company declined to disclose details. County spokesperson Erick Gill stated the priority was removal, not identifying owners, and the county lacks resources for further investigation.
Flock CEO Garrett Langley claimed in leaked audio that anti-Flock protests are not organic, suggesting they are driven by paid activity and Russian bots, a claim disputed by the ACLU, which has published guidance for communities seeking to end Flock contracts. Meanwhile, other cities, including Indianapolis, are considering regulations on Flock cameras, while some municipalities cover cameras with trash bags to disable them temporarily after contract cancellations.
