3 prediction markets price this story:

• Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 32%, with $6 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a U.S. state (excluding Texas, Florida, or Rhode Island) bans, suspends, or pauses law enforcement use of Flock Safety or similar automated license plate readers between now and January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if no such action occurs in those specific states within that timeframe.
• Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 13%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to "Yes" if Pennsylvania enacts a statewide ban on networked Flock Safety camera systems before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to "No." Readers often mistakenly think the linked story about Texas affects the outcome, but only laws passed in Pennsylvania count.
• Yes — the market puts it at 87%, with $398 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 18 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the League City proposition to continue using Flock cameras passes. The outcome depends entirely on the result of that specific vote. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Minnesota for the relevant event, but only the League City vote matters.
