TL;DR
- Elgin Community College installed six Flock safety cameras in April 2025.
- By September 2025, the college administration expressed concerns about data sharing with Customs and Border Patrol, camera feed security, and data access abuse.
- Elgin Community College requested Flock remove its cameras in October 2025, but Flock rejected the request, stating no contract violation occurred.
- A subsequent request in December, even with an offer to pay the remaining contract balance, was met with silence.
- College staff covered the cameras with trash bags and zip ties, but workers in an unmarked vehicle repeatedly removed the coverings.
- This continued until the college's contract expired in April of the current year, at which point Flock removed the cameras.
