Goochland County Sheriff Steven Creasey announced in late August 2026 that his office would stop using Flock license plate readers, making Goochland the first locality in the Richmond area to do so. The office had 11 devices. Creasey said reader technology is a valuable investigative tool and that he also recognizes residents' concerns about privacy, data access, and the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens. He stated the move was not the result of any identified misuse of the system. Accounts differ on the mechanism, with WTVR reporting a suspension dated August 28, 2026 and The Richmonder describing the county as ending its use; the status shown follows The Richmonder. No termination document, contract price or funding source has been released.
