Aug 2025 · Cameras deactivated
Evanston, IL
The City of Evanston ended its contract with Flock Safety and requested the deactivation of the cameras following an audit by the Secretary of State showing the company was violating state law by sharing Illinois data with federal agencies. Flock then reinstalled the cameras against the city's wishes, prompting a cease-and-desist by the city.
