The Hutto City Council voted to permanently discontinue the Hutto Police Department's use of 10 Flock Safety automated license plate reader cameras, a decision reported on September 18, 2026. Reports place the meeting on September 17 or September 18, and none found gives the vote tally. The council acted over 2 concerns: partner agencies with access to Flock data are not bound by the department's policies on that data, and developments in artificial intelligence raised more questions. The Texas Tribune, in a report KERA News ran on September 25, 2026, said Hutto's political leaders ended their Flock agreement after learning how far other agencies could reach the camera data. No document found states when Hutto first approved Flock, the contract amount, the term or the funding.
