Ord Nebraska Rejects Flock Cameras | Omaha News

Ord, Nebraska just became the first city in the state to reject Flock cameras—automatic license plate readers—after a unanimous council vote sparked by community outcry over privacy and data control. Mayor Jeramy Sedlacek praised residents for speaking up, while police acknowledge the tech’s investigative value but pledge to balance safety with public trust. Though the cameras remain active for now (owned by Valley County under a grant), the city’s attorney is preparing legal action to have them removed. With nearly 100 U.S. cities already opting out, Ord’s move signals a growing national pushback against surveillance tech.
