DeFlock Murphy Wants the License-Plate Cameras Put to a Vote
A resident campaign documents Murphy, Texas's Flock Safety surveillance program and gives residents a direct route to question the city council.
Field notes
The campaign maps a local surveillance dispute onto the mechanics of Flock's system, emphasizing that vehicle profiles can include make, model, color, stickers, roof racks, and dents—not only plate numbers. Its local timeline attributes the first purchase to Murphy Resolution 24-R-1115 and a catalytic-converter-theft grant, followed by a unanimous May 2026 vote to seek additional funding. The page also directs readers to individual contact routes for all seven council members.
