@GlennJacobsTN · Glenn Jacobs · July 27, 2026 · Knox County, Tennessee
Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs posted video and a press release urging the Commission to prohibit Flock cameras and similar ALPRs. He argues AI vehicle fingerprinting plus long retention can create warrantless mass tracking, and that Tennessee's ALPR statute is more than a decade old.

Today, I am urging our Commission to prohibit the use of Flock cameras and similar devices in our County.
