Sheriff Ross Teeple just dropped one of the most important statements of 2026. Pinal County is not renewing its contract with Flock Safety. Those “license plate readers” can do facial recognition, track your daily movements, and quietly build permanent data sets on every citizen whether the sheriff’s office uses those features or not. Teeple’s words were cold and clear: “I have serious Fourth Amendment concerns with some of the technology that is contained in those cameras, whether we have access to it or not. I swore an oath to the Constitution and will protect your individual liberties until the day I die.” This is what an oath actually looks like. Not speeches. Not press releases. Action. More sheriffs need to grow a spine like this one. Credit: Pinal County Sheriff’s Office
