AG Mayes to examine Flock surveillance cameras and Arizonans’ privacy rights
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has announced a review of Flock Safety surveillance cameras and their implications for the privacy rights of Arizona residents. The scope and trigger of the examination are not yet publicly detailed.
Why this matters: Flock cameras are license plate readers that communities have been quietly installing for years. They log where your car goes and when. That data sits in databases, often shared across agencies, with few rules about how long it is kept or who can pull it. An AG investigation is a meaningful check. The core issue is simple: most people driving past these cameras have no idea they are being tracked, and most cities installing them never asked residents whether that was acceptable.
