Residents, Commissioners Press Sheriff on Future of Flock Camera Trial
Summary
Public commenters and multiple commissioners pressed the county and sheriff about what will happen to trial Flock license-plate cameras, who would pay for vandalism, and whether the vendor will continue to collect data after county access ends at the end of August.
Public commenters and commissioners pressed the county about the status of trial automated license-plate readers commonly called Flock cameras, asking whether the devices would be removed, who would bear the cost if cameras were vandalized, and whether the vendor would continue to collect data after the county ends access.
"I prefer them being taken down immediately, stop tracking us," a resident told the board during public comment. Commissioner Christiansen said constituents want clarity on whether the cameras will be deactivated and who is responsible for damage, noting "It could be up to $7,000 for one of those cameras." County administrator Amanda said the sheriff told staff that county access will end at the end of August and deputies will no longer be able to use the system; she said the sheriff will ask Flock whether the vendor will also shut the devices off or continue collecting data and will provide a public update.
