The Budget and Government Efficiency Committee backed ending the city's plate-reader contract, sending the question to the full council. Mayor Todd Gloria argued against giving the technology up, while a councilmember's switch increased the odds of a majority for termination.

A federal judge in the Northern District of California denied a motion to dismiss in McGinty v. Reimagined Parking, holding the plaintiff plausibly alleged harm to his 'right to know' about ALPR use in two parking garages. The analysis, written by defense-side lawyers, argues it is the first federal decision to follow California state-court reasoning that inadequate ALPR disclosure alone can survive dismissal. It involves parking-operator ALPR rather than Flock, but the disclosure theory travels.
