Pflugerville covering all Flock Cameras

Pflugerville has covered its flock cameras with bags and the police switched the entire system off. This comes after city leaders found that other law enforcement agencies outside of texas had access to the city's cameras and data. City leaders say Pflugerville had its privacy settings configured to block statewide and national sharing. But the data including vehicle information was accessible anyway due to a system issue with the vendor. Now the city manager has directed staff to manually cover the cameras. Tonight there was overwhelming support for city leaders to end the contract with flock after more than 150 people sent them letters to do so. Public safety means more than just uh enforcement. It also means safety. It means security. It means feeling safe in your community. Let's be blunt here. They're a terrible company, not a bad partner, a terrible company. And to see over and over again them not learn for us. We were in this room what 68 months ago and lying to our face. The cameras had been in operation since the contract ended july 31st. The city kept them up while negotiating an extension. The Pflugerville plans to move on from flock cameras. City leaders are even considering legal action against the company over the privacy concerns and the data sharing.
