Weymouth runs 34 Flock cameras, the largest deployment South Shore News found among the South Shore communities it surveyed. The news outlet reported the cameras are paid for out of the municipal operating budget rather than a grant or a forfeiture account. Weymouth's written policy bars using the system for traffic enforcement and bars using it for immigration enforcement. South Shore News reported that 30 days is the standard retention period for unflagged data across the systems it examined, with automatic purging after that. South Shore Times separately listed Weymouth among South Shore communities with Flock cameras in place as of late July 2026. Neither source gives a contract amount, a term length, a start date, an expiration date, or the name of any body that voted to approve the system. No roll call vote is on the record.
