State bill aims to curtail Flock cameras
Graham Corrigan
Sep 29, 2026
As county-operated license plate readers are set to come down across northeast Dutchess County, a state senator has introduced legislation to put the first statewide limits on how the technology is used.
State Sen. Michelle Hinchey announced the bill last Tuesday, Sept. 22. It would regulate automatic license plate readers, or ALPRs, including those made by Flock Safety, the company behind the cameras that have been installed in Millerton, Amenia, Pine Plains and Milan.
Under current New York law, there are no limits on who can access ALPR data, how it is stored and shared, or how long it is kept. “Our bill would be the first to do that in New York,” Hinchey said in a statement.
The bill would require ALPR data to be deleted within 48 hours unless it is used as evidence or held under a warrant. It would ban the sale of the data to private entities and bar agencies from building databases to be kept for future use. Out-of-state law enforcement would need judicial authorization to access New York data.
Agencies would have to keep auditable logs of who searches the data and publish annual reports listing camera locations and the number of plates captured. People harmed by unlawful use could sue for damages and attorney’s fees. Such unlawful use has been regularly reported, Hinchey noted. “As ALPRs proliferate, too often over the objections of local residents, reports of bad actors using this technology to stalk and spy on innocent people — often crimes against women — are becoming more frequent,” she said.
Law enforcement could still use the cameras to investigate felonies, find missing persons and stolen vehicles, and enforce traffic and parking laws.
The legislation is backed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, the Legal Aid Society, the Institute for Justice and the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, among others. Daniel Schwarz of the NYCLU called the current situation “dangerous.” Corinne Worthington of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project noted that communities across the country, including Millbrook, Pine Plains, and Windsor, have cancelled their Flock contracts.
The bill arrives amid a year of debate over automatic license plate readers. In February, revelations that Pine Plains police had entered a preliminary contract with Flock prompted an emergency meeting and the contract’s eventual cancellation.
In July, landowners near Millerton said the cameras had been installed on their property with little notice. Julie Schroeder of Silamar Farm said she had agreed to a camera two years earlier, only to find it placed roadside, in the way of her farm machinery. Reporting at the time counted at least four Flock cameras in northeast Dutchess, one of them on Route 343 east of Amenia.
Another property owner in Pine Plains, who had initially agreed to a Flock camera, has asked for its removal.
At a September town hall in Amenia, Dutchess County Deputy Steve Reverri said Flock cameras were operational in every town in the county.
The debate took center stage this week at a public forum in Pleasant Valley. Dutchess County District Attorney Anthony Parisi and Sheriff Kirk Imperati discussed the cameras at Pleasant Valley Town Hall, hosted by County Legislator Eric Alexander. Parisi has pointed to the county’s online portal, which lists camera locations and arrests tied to the system, as evidence of accountability. Residents’ concerns about privacy and constitutional protections, however, dominated the discussion.
Two days after the public forum, D.A. Parisi and Sheriff Imperati announced they were withdrawing their support for the cameras in the region, though details on if and how the cameras will be removed from the information pipeline have yet to be determined.
Hinchey’s bill has not yet been assigned a hearing date. The Legislature returns to Albany in January.

Stanfordville local uses 3D printers to block Flock cameras
Nathan Miller
Sep 29, 2026
STANFORDVILLE — Jim Griffin was among dozens of Dutchess County residents who stood up in opposition to local law enforcement’s adoption of license plate reading cameras at a community forum in Pleasant Valley on Wednesday, Sept. 23.
But rather than simply voicing his disapproval of the technology, Griffin had something to offer to county residents in the room — a chance to take matters into their own hands. Griffin, using his collection of 3D printers and a penchant for hacking, which he said dates back to the early ‘90s, is manufacturing plastic covers that he said disables the cameras without damaging them.
Griffin was inspired by the increased use of license plate readers manufactured by Flock Safety, an Austin, Texas, based company that produces the cameras and provides software that police use to identify and track persons of interest. Opponents of the cameras nationwide have taken to cutting down the cameras — an act that has been met with criminal charges.
Griffin acknowledged using the plastic covers would still likely lead to criminal charges, but hoped they would be lesser than if opponents damaged the cameras.
“Doing civil disobedience — which is an American tradition — always comes with a consequence,” Griffin said. “I think if we can make those consequences as small as possible for people, the better off we are.”
Griffin’s concern over the technology grew in February when Pine Plains residents and the Town Board members discovered police department officials had entered into an agreement with Flock Safety without involving the Town Board. He initially set out to design his own cover for the cameras, but eventually discovered the “Flock Sock” design online on a site where makers share designs with others.
The Flock Sock is a plastic sleeve that slides over top of Flock cameras. The devices block the camera’s view but cause no damage to the device or the pole it’s installed on. Griffin said he thought the coverings were a perfect solution, allowing concerned citizens a physical manifestation of their opposition to the cameras that doesn’t carry the same risk of criminal prosecution.
“My intent was protection of the government investment from vandalism,” Griffin said wryly. “We want to protect this investment so that when it’s returned, it’s returned at full value.”
Griffin, a 50-year-old network architect, said his opposition to license plate reading cameras is rooted in values he’s had since he was a high schooler. He framed the technology, which has become widespread across the United States in recent years, as a mass surveillance network that grants police unprecedented access to information about citizens’ movements without a warrant.
He said he has been voicing his concerns about the technology to local leaders for months, and he was glad to see the swell of opposition in Dutchess County. When Dutchess County District Attorney Anthony Parisi and Sheriff Kirk Imperati announced just two days later that the cameras were coming down, Griffin was pleasantly surprised.
Griffin urged county residents to remain vigilant in opposition to the cameras, acknowledging that county officials’ decision to terminate Dutchess’s Flock camera program does not restrict local municipalities from forming independent agreements with the company. He said he will still make Flock Socks for concerned citizens who would like some.

Habitat for Humanity plans first build in Amenia

AMENIA — Habitat for Humanity plans to begin construction of a home on Depot Hill Road in October and open applications for prospective buyers in December.
The structure, which will be located near the Harlem Valley Rail Trail parking lot in Amenia, is part of a $1.2 million round of federal housing and community development grants announced earlier this year by Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino.
At a site visit last week, Habitat for Humanity of Dutchess County CEO Eelco Kessels was joined by COO Jen Radicone and Construction Director Todd Bowen III. The land has been cleared of trees, and groundbreaking is set to begin in October.
“The plan was always to build a home that fits in with the other homes here,” said Kessels. “We want to make sure that this becomes a place where a family is going to thrive, affordably, for the next 30-plus years.”
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home will be a modular home.
“It exceeds New York State energy codes,” added Bowen, the construction director. “And we’ll be looking for volunteers when springtime comes around.”
In December, the home will be delivered in 4 boxes. Applications for ownership will open that same month, and remain open until February. Porches, landscaping, and the driveway will be added in March, and the owners will — tentatively — be able to close in May.
Kessels said the home’s price will fall in line with Amenia’s workforce housing regulations. Applicants must have an income between 60% and 80% of the area’s median and housing costs will not exceed 30% of the chosen family’s annual income, he said.
Habitat will host information sessions about this particular property in October and November. Additionally, prospective homeowners have the ability to participate in Habitat for Humanity’s Homebuying University, which runs from September to December. A Spanish language version of the course is available in January and February.
“Affordability isn’t just helping folks acquire a home, it’s helping them stay in a home,” said Kessels. “We have one of the older housing stocks in New York state, so we’re not just dealing with a shortage of new construction, but also a lot of homes in need of critical maintenance and repairs.”
While this Habitat branch has largely focused on Poughkeepsie in the past, there are plans to expand into Dutchess County’s eastern edge. Kessels says the organization is in talks to purchase properties that could accommodate as many as six houses in Millerton. It’s still early days, but one thing is certain: the area’s need for affordable housing has reached critical levels.
“We’ve really found a community here that is seeing their nurses, teachers, and shop workers get priced out,” said Kessels. “But we’re investing in home ownership, and in individual families that are going to be in the community for a long time.”
The Depot Hill home is one of 14 projects funded through the county’s 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs. Both are funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. County Executive Sue Serino said the awards “help people right here in Dutchess County, supporting our neighbors who need extra help,” and cited expanded affordable housing for families as one goal.
Habitat for Humanity of Dutchess County, founded in 1986, focuses on first-time homeownership. The organization builds for families earning 60-80% of the area median income for low-interest mortgages.
Elsewhere in the county, the funding will pay for sidewalk replacement near a Beacon elementary school, ADA improvements at Pawling Village Hall, and infrastructure for a five-lot housing subdivision in Poughkeepsie.
