Flock CEO Garrett Langley has firmly stated that his company has not terminated any contracts with its customers over misuse of its products, despite growing concerns over license plate reader cameras being used by police departments to stalk individuals without permission.

At the Disrupt 2026 conference in San Francisco, Langley addressed the recent controversies surrounding Flock’s nationwide database of license plate detections, which have led to multiple police officers being arrested, fired, or resigning. He maintained that the company would only end a relationship with a customer in cases of clear widespread abuse, but that they had not yet ‘fired’ any customers, such as police departments, arguing that communities might need the product to fight crime.

The protest outside the venue, where demonstrators dressed as characters from dystopian fiction and carried signs denouncing Flock, highlighted the public’s growing dissatisfaction with the company. Flock has become a focal point in the surveillance debate, with many towns and cities rejecting its cameras by cancelling or allowing their contracts to expire due to privacy concerns.

Despite Langley’s assertion that Flock’s systems have helped solve crimes, the company faces criticism for cybersecurity issues and inaccurate camera readings, leading to wrongful arrests. As the debate continues, Flock remains committed to its business, with Langley stating that the company has no interest in being acquired by rival surveillance firms such as Axon.
