Henrico removes over 100 Flock cameras after company stops responding

Henrico County crews removed over 100 Flock automatic license plate reader cameras on Saturday after the company became non-responsive, according to NBC12.

The county ended its use of the Flock cameras in early October citing privacy concerns. The contract required Flock to remove the cameras within two weeks of termination, but the company did not fulfill this obligation.

County officials decided to cut ties with the technology following feedback from residents, police, and experts about privacy and data-access issues, as well as potential misuse of the cameras.

While the cameras were disassembled and taken down, the poles remain standing. County crews stated that Flock must remove the poles themselves.
