Ithaca and Auburn Terminate Flock Safety Contracts Amid NY Plate Reader Debate
What happened
Ithaca and Auburn ended their contracts with Flock Safety. This action coincided with New York lawmakers weighing statewide restrictions on automated license plate readers, with a proposed 48-hour data deletion requirement emerging as a key point of disagreement.

Why it matters
The legislative discussion centers on Assembly bill A10808A, which would generally require government-held plate data to be deleted within 48 hours. This regulatory environment, combined with local contract terminations, affects the market position and revenue streams of Flock Safety.
