Cleveland ended its Flock contract. The cameras are still on.

Our Take

Since 2023, Cleveland has been home to 100 of Flock’s license plate readers. And on June 17, the Cleveland City Council voted 3-1 against renewing the city’s contract with Flock Safety. Meaning the contract expired as of Monday, and the cameras should no longer be running. But the cameras are still running.
