Contract decision on record
In Sep 8, 2026, Bastrop canceled its Flock Safety contract. Council approved immediate termination and barred future contracts for any vehicle-surveillance system after residents raised privacy concerns; the city's 12 cameras had already been covered or vandalized. Reported by Community Impact.
Cameras can still appear in the record above after a decision like this one. These locations change only when a volunteer edits OpenStreetMap, and a decision date is not a removal date. See this decision in the cancellation tracker →

They are evidence of where cameras have been seen — not a complete or official inventory, and cameras may have been added or removed since documentation.
