The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office bought 52 Flock license plate reader cameras in 2025 for $132,000, according to purchase orders that ABC News 4 reported on August 18, 2026. The station said the office denied its records request for an organization audit, on the ground that public bodies need not create an electronic version of a record that does not exist. The office did not answer requests for interviews or emailed questions about Flock's new recommendations. No document found names the body that approved the purchase, the approval date, the contract term or the source of the money.
