Notes
Asheville City Council voted on Tuesday 25 August 2026 to terminate the city's contract for 11 Flock Safety licence plate reader cameras. WLOS reported the next day that Asheville police no longer had access to the Flock software. The city manager said staff would look at covering the camera lenses until they could be removed. Council member Sage Turner said a majority of the council had already voted to cancel Flock and that the latest vote was meant to speed this up. The decision covers only the city's own 11 cameras; other Flock cameras within the city limits that the city does not operate can keep running. The start year of Asheville's use was not given in the source read.
