What we do not know
Flock Safety plate readers [Collin County Sheriff and Collin County Public Works]
- Which county office operates the 48 cameras, the portable readers and the trailers bought in November 2025.
- Where the cameras are installed, and whether the trailers move.
- What the 10 integrated video streams in the FreeForm allocation are connected to.
- Whose cameras the Sheriff's Office can search under the 2022 agreement, and which agencies can search the county's cameras.
- Whether the county has a written plate reader use and audit policy, and whether the Commissioners Court has seen one.
- Whether the county has renewed or extended the contract after its first year.
What camera networks are
