Flock CEO Garrett Langley has stated that the company has not terminated any contracts with its police department customers due to product abuse. Speaking at the Disrupt 2026 conference, Mr Langley addressed criticisms regarding the misuse of Flock's license plate reader cameras by law enforcement.
This statement follows reports of numerous police officers being arrested, fired, or told to resign after allegedly abusing access to Flock's nationwide database of license plate detections, sometimes to stalk individuals without permission.
Mr Langley indicated that Flock would end a relationship in cases of clear widespread abuse, but confirmed that no customer, such as a police department or law enforcement agency, has been "fired" to date. He added that the company debated the issue internally but decided against removing the product from communities that might need it for crime-fighting efforts.
Protesters gathered outside the conference venue during Mr Langley's interview, demonstrating against Flock's AI-powered surveillance. Some communities have also reportedly rejected Flock cameras by cancelling or allowing contracts to expire, citing privacy concerns.
