Dane County Pulls Funding for Flock License Plate Cameras

Wisconsin Public Radio · Sarah Lehr · April 20, 2026

The Dane County Board of Supervisors voted 32-1 to strip $80,000 from the sheriff's budget earmarked for the 24-camera Flock network, ending the program May 31. Supervisors cited informal data-sharing with federal agencies and 140+ out-of-state agency accesses; Supervisor Chad Kemp voiced 'severe concerns about the ethics of this company.'
