Guadalupe County Commissioners Court unanimously approves ending the county's Flock Safety license plate reader contract
Guadalupe County Sheriff Joshua Ray asked the Commissioners Court for permission to terminate the county's contract with Flock Safety, and the court approved unanimously. Flock cameras read license plates automatically and alert deputies to vehicles of interest. Ray told the court his view of the technology has not changed and that the reason is cost. The county pays to replace cameras that keep getting vandalized while continuing to pay the monthly bill. Guadalupe County sits in the San Antonio metro area between Seguin and New Braunfels.

Under our current agreement, replacing damaged cameras falls on the county, and I refuse to spend your tax dollars replacing equipment that is likely to keep getting torn down, paying again when they come down, and paying the monthly bill in between the whole time.Sheriff ends county's Flock Safety contract, Seguin Gazette Journalism
