Data update: Kyle TX (Jan–Mar 2026)

Three months of audit logs from Kyle, Texas PD were added: organization audit (Kyle PD’s own searches) and network audit (all agencies searching Kyle’s Flock camera network) covering January 1 through March 19, 2026.

• Type: Organization audit + Network audit
• Timespan: Jan 1 – Mar 19, 2026
• Org audit records: 2,888
• Network audit records: 1,491,701
• Organizations (network): ~2,786–2,989

Kyle TX PD itself conducted 2,856 of the ~1.49M network searches (0.19%). The top network searchers were Houston TX PD (172,396), Dallas TX PD (122,433), Texas Department of Public Safety (72,451), Harris County TX SO (34,212), and Fort Worth TX PD (18,608).

Search types

Kyle PD’s own searches shifted from 57% lookup / 43% search in January to 72% / 27% in February and March. Kyle PD also ran 16 visual searches (image-based lookups), all for Burglary/Breaking & Entering or Stolen Property offenses. Kyle PD did not use any freeform (AI text prompt) searches.

Network-wide, the breakdown was consistent across months: ~94% lookup, ~6% search, with smaller volumes of convoy (3,219 total), freeform (42), visual (21), searchSummary (114), and multiGeo (16).

Freeform searches

42 freeform searches appeared in the network files — all from other agencies, all prefixed with objectClass:vehicle. Key clusters:

Narcotics investigation (January): A single agency ran ~15 searches for variations of white Chevrolet trucks with distinctive stickers — “White Chevrolet Pickup truck with MPLV on the back window,” “White 4 door Chevrolet silverado with ghost with a hook and red letter on back window,” and “Four door chevrolet pickup with On D Gas sticker with red letters on back window.” All were classified as Drugs/Narcotics.

Homicide investigation (March): 10 searches on March 17 for a “single cab silver dodge ram with yellow scooter in tailgate” and variations (“grey or silver dodge ram with scooter in tailgate,” “dodge ram with motorcycle in tailgate”). All classified as Homicide/Death Investigation.

Motorcycle club searches (February–March): Texas DPS searched for “blue motorcycle, black cross on fender” and “harley davidson with 9 lives stitched” — likely Nine Lives MC identifiers. Flock’s AI moderation flagged all four of these searches as “warn,” the only freeform searches across the entire dataset to receive anything other than “allow.”

Other: “BLUE honda civic SI” (Sex Offenses), “red motorcycle” (Criminal Motor Vehicle Offense), “older white chevrolet tahoe with lift kit and black rims” (Larceny/Theft).

Report highlights

Running the same pattern matching used by our existing reports against the raw CSV files. Once imported, these records will appear in the full reports linked below.

Develop PC / MYOC

~446 records across all three network files contain language suggesting officers used Flock to develop probable cause rather than act on existing PC. The most common marker is “MYOC” (Make Your Own [Probable] Cause). Top agencies: Harris County TX SO (63), Houston TX PD (35), Carmel IN PD (31), and Amarillo TX PD (13). Examples:

• Adairsville GA PD: “MYOC - Suspected Drug Dealer/User ([redacted])”
• Conyers GA PD: “get PC or ARS. s45 copper theft”
• Carmel IN PD: “MYOC-SILV CADILLAC VISTIQ-FAKE PLATE CONFIRMED BY BMV FRAUD-”
• Amarillo TX PD: “Possible Trailer Thief, Develop PC to ID driver [redacted]”

Immigration

~141 records match immigration-related terms, dropping sharply month over month (120 → 17 → 4). No single agency dominates — Houston TX PD, Pasadena TX PD, Lake County IN SO, Odessa TX PD, and Oklahoma City OK PD each contributed 3–5 records. Examples:

• Brazoria County TX SO: “Active Joint Case PBSO/DEA/ATF/CBP(HSTF)”
• Dallas TX PD: “cbp intel”
• Grand Prairie TX PD: “Immigration (civil/administrative) - Criminal Justice Purpose”

Low-level offenses

~13,374 records involve low-level infractions across both audit and network files. Dominated by disorderly conduct (~5,900), trespassing (~4,400), littering (~3,200), prostitution (~1,700), and curfew violations (~1,500). Top agencies: Houston TX PD, Dallas TX PD, and Texas DPS. Kyle PD’s own audit contributed 92 low-level records.

Profiling

~160 gang/club matches after excluding “Narcotics / Gang Investigation” (a standard dropdown category used by Houston PD and others — ~13,700 records excluded). 35 race+descriptor matches. Examples:

• Houston TX PD: “Warrant for [redacted] BLACK MALE [redacted]”
• Olive Branch MS PD: “Shoplifting Suspect from Walmart (Black female)”
• Carmel IN PD: “Target Meijer Theft Price Switch White Toyota Camry [redacted] hispanic Male”
• Alcohol Offenses: 16 records with bare “gang” as the reason
• Obstructing the Police: “FIGHT CLUB”

First Amendment

~39 records matched First Amendment-related terms. Most are incidental (church as an address, temple as a city name). Notable:

• Vestal Town NY PD: “Suspicious person at planned protest site”
• Lakeland FL PD: “DOC Suspect from protest”
• Michigan State Police: “Threats to Mosque”
• Athens-Clarke County GA PD: “vehicle church ramming” (Terrorism)
• Waynesville NC PD: 7 records referencing “Biltmore Church” (Threats/Assault)

Anomalies

Future-dated time frame starts (2036)

Twenty-three records across all three network files have the Time Frame start date set to February 7–8, 2036, while the Time Frame end and Search Time fields contain normal 2026 dates. The affected agencies include Irving TX PD (10), Dallas TX PD (8), College Station TX PD (3), Jersey Village TX PD (1), and Rusk CO TX SO (1). The dates cluster around the same February 7–8, 2036 window documented in Rogers AR — confirming this as a platform-wide Flock bug.

Test records on the live network

4,226 records with test-related reasons (“Test,” “testing,” “TEST LEARNING SYSTEM,” “Hardware Test,” etc.) across all three files. The top testers were Sarasota County FL SO (560), Robeson County NC SO (414), Tulsa County OK SO (397), and Houston TX PD (202). Testing activity persisted across all three months.

Freeform moderation flags

4 of 42 freeform searches received “warn” moderation from Flock’s AI — all from Texas DPS searching for motorcycle club identifiers (“blue motorcycle, black cross on fender” and “harley davidson with 9 lives stitched”). The remaining 38 freeform searches were marked “allow.”

Partial March data

The March file covers only through March 19, with 640 org audit records compared to 1,069 (January) and 1,179 (February) for full months.

All case numbers masked

Every case number field across all six files contains ***. Zero leakage, unlike some other jurisdictions where case numbers occasionally reveal investigative details.

All network license plates masked

Every license plate across all six files is either *** (masked) or empty. Zero actual plates were disclosed. In the org audit files, 57–72% are masked and the remainder are empty (non-plate searches). In the network files, ~94% are masked and ~6% are empty.
