Case against two accused of shooting out Flock cameras referred to grand jury

First reported: October 8, 2026 · 13 sources

Prosecutors have sent the case against two people accused of destroying Flock Safety license plate reader cameras with shotguns to a grand jury, according to a report published by Hawaii News Now on Oct. 8, 2026. The available report consists of a headline and video segment; the names of the defendants, the specific charges, the jurisdiction where the alleged damage occurred and the number of cameras affected are not stated in the text reviewed. No indictment or conviction has been reported, and the allegations remain unproven.

Why this matters

Referral to a grand jury marks an escalation in how authorities treat damage to privately operated surveillance equipment deployed for police use, and the outcome could shape charging decisions in other communities where ALPR cameras have been targeted.
