Every pin is a documented, sourced case.

The Institute for Justice launched a public database showing that as of October 22, 2026, at least 284 local governments across the country have canceled or declined to renew ALPR contracts, citing widespread police misuse, wrongful arrests, and data-sharing concerns.

San Diego's Budget and Government Efficiency Committee unanimously voted to advance a proposal canceling the city's Flock Safety contract and banning police use of ALPR cameras, though the measure still faces a likely mayoral veto before full council approval.

Fullerton, California's city council voted 3-1 to suspend all 19 of its Flock Safety license plate reader cameras for six months so officials can hold a public town hall, collect comparative crime data, and review audit protocols before deciding the program's future.

Cumberland, Rhode Island's town council voted 6-1 to terminate its Flock Safety contract after a federal false-arrest lawsuit was filed alleging that a Flock camera image was used to wrongly identify and arrest an East Providence woman.

Philadelphia City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling on Pennsylvania's General Assembly to ban or impose strict regulations on automated license plate readers like Flock cameras, following a Tribune investigation that found police had amassed over 25 million plate scans with no validated data on the technology's effectiveness.
