Wisconsin residents have expressed growing dissatisfaction with Flock's automated license plate cameras, leading multiple cities and towns to withdraw from Flock contracts due to privacy and trust issues. As more municipalities exit the network, its overall effectiveness diminishes for remaining participants. Dane County, one of Wisconsin's most populous counties and a major Flock user with 24 cameras, voted on April 16 to cut $80,000 in funding and banned further expenditures on the system.

County Board Chair Patrick Miles cited documented concerns about Flock violating Fourth Amendment rights, stating the board acted to protect the community from a "proven bad actor." The county's Flock cameras were deactivated, removing Dane County data from 140 law enforcement agencies nationwide, including those in Missouri, New York, and Tennessee. The city of Madison has avoided Flock cameras entirely, refraining from using automatic license plate readers, gunshot detection systems, or gait analysis software. Monona, another Dane County city, announced its Flock contract was under review in early May.

While the police chief credited Flock with helping solve an interstate enticement case, local authorities remained concerned about privacy considerations and maintaining community trust and accountability.
