Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock, said at the Disrupt 2026 conference in San Francisco on Oct. 14, 2026 that Flock has not terminated its agreements with police or law‑enforcement bodies, even amid abuse reports.
While Langley spoke at the Disrupt 2026 conference, protesters gathered outside wearing red robes like those from Handmaid’s Tale and holding cardboard Flock camera models, and they played clips from the film 1984. Residents in several localities say Flock reactivated the cameras after they requested removal, which led people to cover or destroy the devices.
While Flock does not contract directly with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency allegedly obtains its data by working with local police that operate the cameras. Experts point to security flaws and faulty readings that have led to dozens of mistaken police detentions and arrests, one involving a journalist in a test car.
Some towns have switched their Flock surveillance contracts to rivals like Axon, which makes Tasers and police body‑cameras. Asked about a potential sale to Axon, Langley replied that Flock does not want to sell the company.
