WHAT ACTUALLY
HAPPENED.

Every report is summarised here in full, so you can read what happened without leaving. The link to the original reporting is always on the page, clearly labelled, because a claim you cannot check is worth nothing.

Win
The jurisdiction decided against the cameras: not renewed, not pursued, or cancelled.
Partial win
Use was suspended, paused, or narrowed, but the agreement itself still stands.
Ongoing
Live dispute. A vote, a review, or a removal question is still unresolved.
Contract retained
The jurisdiction kept the cameras, whatever the public turnout looked like.
Removal verified
Reporting confirms the hardware actually came down, not just that a vote happened.
Safety review
The installation itself is under challenge on road-safety or permitting grounds, separately from any privacy or contract question.
Deployment expanded
A new contract was signed or an existing one grew. Recorded because a tracker that only counts wins is advertising.

Status
Win

Killingworth switched off its four Flock cameras after residents raised privacy concerns and officials questioned the cost. First Selectman Eric Couture said flatly that the cameras "had not added any value to local policing efforts." The town had budgeted $14,600 a year to license four of them. It follows Windsor, the first Connecticut town to pull the plug: Windsor temporarily disabled its cameras in February and voted in June to end its Flock contract for good, after its 16 cameras were found to have shared locally collected data with law enforcement agencies nationwide before access was restricted.

  • Windsor, the first Connecticut town to act, disabled its cameras in February 2026 and voted in June to end the contract permanently.
