🐦 LET’S CLEAR UP THE FLOCK CAMERA RUMORS

Recent social-media posts and comments have raised questions about the Louisiana Police Department’s Flock Safety cameras. We welcome reasonable questions, but we also want residents to have accurate information.

RUMOR: Louisiana has 14 Flock cameras.
FACT: The City of Louisiana has seven Flock cameras—not 14. Cameras operated by another law-enforcement agency are not owned or paid for by the City of Louisiana.

RUMOR: Someone is sitting at the Police Department watching everyone drive around.
FACT: These are automated license-plate readers, not traditional live-surveillance cameras. No one is sitting behind a screen watching your trips to Fastlane or Ayerco—or anywhere else. The cameras capture a brief, still image of a vehicle traveling on a public roadway, along with its license plate, visible vehicle characteristics, location, date and time.

RUMOR: The cameras use facial recognition.
FACT: They do not use facial recognition or collect biometric information. They are designed to identify vehicles—not the occupants.

RUMOR: The cameras track everyone’s movements.
FACT: A camera records a vehicle only when it passes that particular location. It does not continuously follow a vehicle or show where it travels between cameras.

RUMOR: The cameras are used to issue speeding or routine traffic tickets.
FACT: Louisiana’s Flock cameras are not speed cameras or red-light cameras, and they do not automatically issue citations.

So, what are they used for?

They are a law-enforcement tool used to help:

• Locate stolen vehicles and stolen license plates
• Identify vehicles associated with criminal investigations
• Locate wanted persons
• Assist with AMBER Alerts and missing or endangered-person cases
• Provide objective evidence after a crime occurs

A Flock alert or search result is an investigative lead—not proof that someone committed a crime. Officers must verify the plate, vehicle and surrounding circumstances before taking enforcement action.

Access is restricted to authorized law-enforcement personnel. Searches must be conducted for a legitimate law-enforcement purpose, and system activity is logged and subject to review. Camera data is generally retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted unless it has been lawfully preserved as evidence.

The cameras were not secretly installed, and the City’s contract is a public record. The entire council was aware of them coming in for at least 7 months. To provide even greater transparency, the Louisiana Police Department has established a public Flock Safety Transparency Portal. Residents can review information about the program, how the technology is used, applicable safeguards and usage statistics:

We understand that new law-enforcement technology can raise legitimate questions. We encourage residents to review the facts and the transparency portal rather than relying on rumors or speculation.

Our goal is simple: use responsible technology to solve crimes, recover stolen property, locate endangered people and make Louisiana safer—while remaining accountable to the community we serve.
