Contracts & controversy, as it's happening

Between August 2021 and May 2026, communities in 28 states terminated Flock contracts — 39 of those cancellations happened in just the first five months of 2026. LAPD announced it wouldn't renew, citing data-ownership concerns, before renegotiating with added privacy protections. Flock rolled out new "auditing and accountability controls" in August 2026 after a string of documented cases of officers misusing the system, including to stalk exes or romantic partners. Some cities that dropped Flock have since signed with competitor Axon instead.
