Public Records: The Contract Behind These Cameras

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department doesn't own or operate any Flock cameras itself, but a memorandum of understanding with Flock gives its officers access to thousands of cameras statewide through other agencies and private businesses. That access came under scrutiny in August 2026 after an officer was arrested and accused of using the system to help a drug investigation target evade an undercover operation.

About this data: Camera locations near Charlotte are pulled from OpenStreetMap's public surveillance-camera tags and community reports submitted directly through FlockLocator. Coverage depends entirely on what's been reported — if Charlotte looks empty, it likely just hasn't been mapped yet, not that no cameras exist. Read documented cases of ALPR misuse on our News page.
