Summary

LAPD pauses new Flock Safety license plate readers after contract expiration, citing data privacy fears and lack of control over how information is shared with federal agencies. Though 138 cameras remain active, the department can’t access their data — and Flock claims it’s also inaccessible. Public outcry over surveillance and transparency has pushed the police commission to demand stronger oversight before any future deployments. A virtual town hall is set for July 30th to gather community input as the department weighs next steps, with the Office of Inspector General calling for broader vendor reviews and clearer data ownership rules.
