Flock just called your dad antifa
The short version: Magnetic Norse flags Flock Safety's CEO framing critics of ALPR surveillance as 'antifa,' a tactic that deflects accountability instead of addressing privacy concerns.
Our Take
Credit to Magnetic Norse for catching this one: when the CEO of a surveillance company starts branding skeptics as political extremists, that's not a security strategy — it's a PR deflection. Slapping the 'antifa' label on anyone questioning why thousands of license plate readers are quietly logging every car that passes is a classic move to shut down debate before it starts.
This matters because the conversation about ALPRs shouldn't be partisan at all. Conservatives worried about government overreach, civil liberties groups, and privacy-minded liberals have all raised the same questions: who sees this data, how long is it kept, and what stops it from being abused. Turning that into a culture-war talking point lets the company avoid answering those questions directly.
Don't let the noise distract from the actual infrastructure going up in your town. Check our map to see where these cameras are already watching, and head to take-action if you want to push back locally.
