Milwaukee, WI, August 7, 2026 —
CUDAHY, WI – Eagle Sports Range, a firearms facility located in Cudahy, Wisconsin, has recently removed its Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras following significant privacy concerns raised by customers and the public.
The decision to deactivate and remove the cameras came after a viral video brought attention to their presence on the property. Initially, Eagle Sports Range had installed the ALPR system with the stated intention of deterring criminal activity. This measure was implemented after a series of burglaries occurred at other local gun ranges.
While the cameras were utilized on one occasion to assist law enforcement, the business subsequently developed reservations regarding broader privacy implications and the potential for the collected data to be misused. These concerns ultimately led to the decision to terminate their contract with Flock Safety.
In a statement, the range emphasized that customer privacy was a paramount consideration, leading them to prioritize these concerns over their security measures. The removal of the Flock Safety cameras signifies a shift in the range’s approach to security, placing a higher value on customer privacy.
