Are Flock cameras constitutional? That’s the question that Commissioner Becky Reimer said a couple of her constituents asked her, so she asked Harvey County Sheriff Chad Gay about it during his monthly report to the commissioners. His simple answer: yes. He said the Flock cameras have been ruled constitutional by the courts. The county installed four Flock cameras in the summer of 2025, placing them on the east and west sides of Highway 50 at the county borders and the north and south ends of the county on I-135, also near the borders. The cameras take pictures of license plates as vehicles drive by. The information is stored in the Flock database so it can be used in investigations, not only by the Harvey County Sheriff’s Department but by law enforcement around the country. Gay said the cameras are constitutional because they’re only viewing the back of cars to identify the license plates, color, make and model of the vehicles.
