Here I reproduce a post I made in Windsor California (&Local) Families on Facebook so that the links I give work correctly.
Read the Staff Report below for the simplest explanation of the information.
There have been comments on the Flock cameras, cameras that take pictures of cars that go past numerous intersections in Windsor. Of course there are comments about privacy intrusion, but also far more about crime prevention and solving of crimes.
I stated in my post “By far people are in favor of having the cameras and the Town Council approved an extension of the contract.” This was based on emails that I have received and comments at the meeting.
This subject is way too complicated to understand simply by reading back and forth one-line comments, so I suggest if you want to understand it fully, you check out item 14.1 on the Council agenda from May 20, 2026, at

Below is a link to the staff report for the subject, not too long, has a lot of info, and it includes the list of crimes that were solved as a result of having Flock. This is the simplest fairly complete description.
