Who Pays When Flock Cameras Get Damaged? Taxpayers, Again
Key Takeaways
- Vandalism of Flock Safety license plate readers has become common enough to read as a measure of public opposition to continuous surveillance.
- Houston residents cut down at least six Flock cameras in July after multiple counties renewed contracts with the company through 2027.
- A Flock contract with Fort Bend County, Texas, sets replacement fees of $500 for a standard pole, $2,000 for an advanced pole, and $800 per camera, billed to the county.
- Flock's Camera Protection Plan offers repair or replacement of covered cameras at no additional cost, but it is an optional annual add-on with undisclosed pricing.
