STILLWATER, MINNESOTA · PUBLIC RECORDS
Claims review
A claim about surveillance or security is easiest to check when it identifies a product, a local setting and a date. This page summarizes the original October 2026 review and links to the City’s current program description.
THE THREAD TO FOLLOW
Facial recognition and video people-search are distinct capabilities.
Cloud, video-device, and physical-device reports have different scopes.
The reviewed material does not establish that Stillwater devices were affected.
Facial recognition and people search
The City says its ALPR and PTZ cameras do not use facial recognition. Flock advertises a separate people-search feature for compatible video feeds. The local feature inventory and settings would establish whether Stillwater has enabled that feature.
What the security reports cover
Cloud platform. Flock’s published denial addresses its cloud platform. The reviewed sources do not establish a cloud breach.
Video devices. Flock acknowledged a December 2025 Condor video exposure. Reports differ on how many devices were affected. The reviewed material does not identify a Stillwater device.
Physical-device testing. Flock’s 2026 summary discusses findings involving older plate readers. A local device inventory and remediation records would establish whether the findings apply in Stillwater.
Current sharing and inventory
The City’s current page says Stillwater shares ALPR data with individually approved Minnesota agencies and is evaluating access for Hudson and St. Croix County. The City reports 17 ALPR cameras, 20 PTZ cameras and 8 PTZ cameras pending. Dated configuration and installation records would allow independent verification.
