Notes: Framingham, MA police will not renew their Flock contract after months of organized resident opposition (Framingham Fights Back); access ends June 30, cameras to be decommissioned. City is separately debating a “Trust in Local Law Enforcement” ordinance to govern any future ALPR use. Framingham joins Cambridge, Natick, Watertown, and Attleboro among Massachusetts cities cutting Flock ties. Good non-Oregon comparison case for BPA’s ordinance framing — shows the resident-organizing-to-non-renewal pathway working in another state.
