FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — The City of Grapevine is proud to announce it has no idea who is searching its license plate cameras, has never had any idea, and has told three citizens in writing that there is no way to find out. The City thanks Flock for keeping these records safe, wherever they are. The City’s own police policy, which says ALPR audits should be conducted on a regular basis, remains in effect.
And people wonder why Republicans are polling so poorly.
Here are a few updates from our investigation about Flock spy cameras watchin’ yo ass for October 28th, 2026.
1. Grapevine says it has no way to audit its own cameras. We found 11,449 of Grapevine’s searches in other cities’ audits.
The City of Grapevine has told three different people, in writing, that it cannot produce audit logs for its Flock cameras because a vendor keeps the records and the city doesn’t have them.
Of course, Grapevine’s own searches are all over the logs other cities already released: 10,558 through Colleyville’s cameras, 891 through Forney’s in just a month!
Either nobody in Grapevine has ever checked who’s searching Grapevine’s cameras, or they’re lying about it. Both are LOL, and both are terrible for Texas.
We provided receipts to Grapevine showing where they paid for audit and reporting tool capabilities in their Flock system. We’ve asked again for the same audit logs four other cities already released. The deadline for release of the logs they don’t want to produce is today!
