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.

Pinal County sheriff will not renew Flock contract, citing Fourth Amendment concerns

Pinal County Sheriff Ross Teeple told the Board of Supervisors he will not renew the county's Flock Safety contract when it expires at the end of September, saying he has "serious Fourth Amendment concerns with some of the technology that is contained in those cameras, whether we have access to it or not". It is a reversal: Teeple defended the same network at a 2025 town hall as a crucial tool for resolving Amber and Silver alerts. Almost every other entry in this column is a council or a mayor overruling a police department that wanted to keep its cameras. This is the sheriff himself walking away, on constitutional grounds, from a system he previously argued for — which is a different and harder kind of decision to dismiss.

From the reporting

  • The contract expires at the end of September 2026 and will not be renewed.
  • Teeple's stated reason is the Fourth Amendment, and he applied it to what the technology can do rather than to how his own office uses it.
  • He had publicly defended the cameras at a 2025 town hall, citing Amber and Silver alerts.
  • Arizona context: Flagstaff, Sedona and South Tucson have all previously dropped or paused Flock.
  • Recorded as a win on the decision. Whether the hardware comes down is a separate question this desk tracks separately.
