League City voters could decide fate of Flock cameras amid data privacy concerns
Voters in League City may get to weigh in on whether the city continues using Flock Safety license plate reader cameras, with data privacy concerns driving the push to put the decision to a public vote.
Why this matters: Flock cameras read and log license plates automatically, building a record of where vehicles go and when. That data does not stay local forever — it can be shared with other agencies and accessed in ways residents never agreed to. Putting this to a vote is notable. Most cities just install the cameras. League City residents may actually get a say in whether a surveillance network runs in their neighborhood, which is rarer than it should be.
