Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock, stated that the company has not terminated any contracts with police departments or law enforcement agencies due to product misuse. While the company has internally debated the issue, Langley noted that they prioritize maintaining access for communities to assist in crime prevention efforts.
Flock currently operates over 100,000 license plate reader cameras across the United States. These systems allow local and federal agencies to track vehicle movements through a centralized national database, a practice that has sparked privacy concerns and led some communities to cancel their service agreements.
Addressing reports of system abuse, Langley confirmed that Flock would immediately terminate a contract if a customer were found to have knowingly violated the law. He acknowledged that while no customers have been fired to date, the company remains open to doing so in cases of significant legal misconduct.
The company has faced criticism regarding cybersecurity, camera accuracy, and instances of wrongful arrests. Despite these challenges and competition from firms like Axon, Langley explicitly denied any plans to sell the company, stating there is no desire to pursue such a transaction.
