ACLU Says Public Was Excluded From Rhode Island Flock Camera Review
In Rhode Island, the ACLU is arguing that the public was excluded from the review process for Flock cameras, as a statewide pause on their use is nearing its conclusion.
Providence New Bedford, RI, October 16, 2026 —
The ACLU is arguing that the public was excluded from the review process for Flock cameras in Rhode Island, as a statewide pause on the cameras’ use nears its conclusion.
The available information does not identify which public officials or agencies conducted the review, when it took place, or what process was used. It also does not specify when the statewide pause is expected to end. The ACLU’s position is described as an argument about public involvement; no response from officials or other parties was provided.
The summary does not detail the cameras’ capabilities, where they have been used, or the reasons for the pause. It also does not say whether the review produced recommendations or a decision about future use. Those details remain unclear from the information available.
The approaching end of the pause places the dispute over public participation alongside an unresolved question about what comes next for the cameras in the state. No final decision, schedule for resuming use, or further review process was specified.
The contractor’s name, the agencies involved, and any specific public meetings or comment opportunities were not provided. Without those details, the scope of the review and the basis for the ACLU’s argument cannot be independently described here. The information provided establishes the group’s concern and the nearing end of the pause, but does not indicate whether the public was consulted through another channel or how officials have addressed the criticism.
