Dozens of Anna residents urged the council to reconsider or tightly guard the city's Flock Safety cameras, citing privacy and misuse risks. Anna Police and a Flock representative said the system aids investigations, data are retained 30 days under current contract and the city owns its data.

Multiple residents told the Anna City Council on Sept. 8 that Flock camera searches threaten privacy, cited examples of allegedly wrongful detentions and audit‑log queries, and asked the city to remove or reconsider the vendor contract; council asked staff for an update on the matter.
