6 Flock cameras vandalized in Edina StarTribune
Background
Edina is a Minneapolis suburb. Its six damaged cameras were part of the Minnesota wave in August 2026 — the same period when all 8 of Winona's cameras disappeared and 6 were hit in Duluth.
What you can do in Edina
- Ask your city or county whether it uses Flock cameras and how long data is retained.
- File a public records request for the ALPR policy or Flock contract.
- Check council meeting agendas — that's where camera agreements get approved.
- Track policy actions nationwide on the ban tracker.
- Use the FOIA request generator to ask for the Flock contract, camera list and retention policy.
Legal note: damaging or stealing cameras is a crime — the pushback that changes policy is legal:
council votes, public records requests and legislation.
