Menasha PD Officer Cristian Morales was charged in January 2026 with felony Misconduct in Office after using Flock cameras to track his ex-girlfriend — off-duty, from his personal phone, querying up to 92,702 cameras per search. His misuse was not caught by any internal audit. The victim reported it herself to a different police department. The case remains pending as of March 25, 2026. Read the full timeline →
At least 25 law enforcement agencies across Outagamie, Winnebago, Calumet, Brown, and Fond du Lac counties actively use Flock Safety's automated license plate readers. Brown County Sheriff's Office logs more Flock searches than almost anywhere in the state. Yet until now, there has been no coordinated effort to document this network, scrutinize how the data is used, or hold agencies accountable.
DeFlock Fox Cities was built to change that. We file public records requests, map camera locations, track contract renewals, and provide Fox Valley residents with the tools they need to speak up at city council meetings. We follow the model pioneered by DeFlock Dane, whose work helped end Verona's Flock contract and triggered a Dane County Board defunding resolution.
We crowdsource camera locations from tips, public records, and Flock's own transparency portals to build a complete picture of the surveillance mesh across the Fox Valley.
We request audit logs, search volumes, officer justifications, and federal agency access data from every local agency — then publish what we find.
We provide public comment templates for city council meetings, track contract renewal dates, and connect residents with the tools to push back.
One city pausing a contract renewal, one council demanding an audit — local wins build momentum. Verona proved it works. The Fox Valley is next.
