The City of Dallas has implemented new restrictions on who can access data from its Flock camera network. Under the updated policy, only agencies located within the state of Texas are permitted to request this information.
This change narrows the scope of data sharing for the surveillance system, which is used to monitor traffic and public safety in the area. By limiting access to in-state entities, the city is tightening the controls around how this specific type of data is distributed.
The decision reflects a move to keep the data within state borders, excluding out-of-state agencies from the list of eligible recipients. The policy update does not indicate any changes to the cameras themselves or their deployment, but rather focuses on the administrative rules governing data requests.
Further details regarding the specific legal basis for this restriction or the timeline for its implementation were not provided in the available reporting.
