In 2026, there was evidence that at least 59 municipalities were customers of Motorola Solutions, not counting many private customers.<ref>https://www.atlasofsurveillance.org/search?vendor=Motorola</ref> That number is expected to grow significantly, unless legislation prevents it. As Flock became the primary target of public opposition, new business opportunists were presented to their competitors, including Motorola Solutions.<ref>https://www.npr.org/2026/08/22/nx-s1-5931446/flock-fallout-competitors-see-opportunity</ref><ref name="sltrib">https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/08/31/aclu-says-vigilant-flock-like/</ref>

As has become standard practice for this growing mass surveillance industry, Motorola installs fixed cameras and ALPRs, which scan vehicles, faces, and more for identifying details. This data is logged, and correlated to all other scans of those identifying details, so that each person's movements can be traced. However, compared to the deployment of Flock's surveillance infrastructure, Motorola has a very small footprint. They have been augmenting their widespread visibility, by contracting with vehicle operators including tow truck companies and fleet vehicles, to install mobile ALPRs. These roving ALPRs can provide sporadic coverage over wide areas, and cannot be easily avoided by privacy-conscious members of the public.<ref name="sltrib">https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/08/31/aclu-says-vigilant-flock-like/</ref> These mobile scanners are also available to law enforcement agencies and other customers. They also offer these AI-powered data collection systems in other form factors, including body cameras<ref>https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en_us/video-security-access-control/in-car-video-systems.html</ref> and drones.<ref>https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en_us/video-security-access-control/drones.html</ref>
