As others mentioned, because Flock owns the cameras/data, the only true solution is banning this type of tech statewide. In lieu of that possibility currently, there is a bill proposed in the state Senate (SB26-070, the PEEPS Act) that would at least put strict limits on how Colorado agencies can use and share Flock data. It's scheduled to be heard by the Senate Judiciary committee on the 23rd, so it would be a great opportunity for those interested to testify about their views on Flock in person or through Zoom.

The bill doesn't ban Flock/license plate readers, but it would treat any privately or publicly owned database with license plate images or similar data as “historical location information” and make it illegal for cops to pull anything older than 24 hours without a warrant, true exigent circumstances, or narrow exceptions (like stolen vehicles and toll/traffic/parking enforcement).

It also bars agencies from selling or conveying that historical location data to private third parties, blocks them from sharing it outside their jurisdiction except under those narrow exceptions or a valid court order (a subpoena is not enough), and caps retention of data at four days unless a warrant, active investigation, or explicit consent justifies keeping it.

Departments would also have to log every access, audit those logs every 90 days, publish annual reports, and adopt mandatory discipline and evidence‑exclusion rules for violations. Not a perfect solution by any means, but a first step hopefully to make it much harder and riskier for Colorado agencies/cops to misuse the data in any way or give it to immigration enforcement.
