Anderson County law director says Flock camera contract may be void, report says

First reported: September 22, 2026 · 3 sources

The law director for Anderson County, South Carolina, has raised questions about the validity of the county's contract with Flock Safety, saying the agreement for the automated license plate reader cameras may be void, according to a local news report. The specific legal grounds cited — such as how the contract was approved or procured — were not detailed in the available report. It is not clear from the report whether the cameras have been deactivated or whether county council has taken any formal action.

Why this matters
