Hood County shuts down its Flock network over warrantless-tracking concerns
@ClaytonTuckerTX · Clayton Tucker · August 18, 2026 · Hood County, Texas
Texas-side amplification of Constable John Shirley's unplug-and-bag of Hood County's Flock units after commissioners canceled the contract. The line making the rounds: people should not be logged for driving a public road.
Why it is in the file
The Hood County shutdown is the action item people keep quoting. Pair with Dallas Express / local coverage before citing the constable's Facebook language as gospel.
Texans shouldn't have their every move recorded and stored just because they drove down a public road.
