Flock Ceo Wants AI Cameras In Every US City
The short version: A YouTuber flags Flock Safety's ambition to blanket every US city in AI-powered cameras, and that goal should alarm anyone who values privacy.
Our Take
Credit to The Cyber Security Admin for putting a spotlight on something we've been saying for a while: Flock Safety isn't just selling a product to a handful of police departments anymore, it's pursuing a vision of nationwide saturation. When a CEO talks openly about putting AI-equipped cameras in every US city, that's not a local policing tool anymore — that's infrastructure for a surveillance network with no real opt-out for the public.
What makes this especially worth paying attention to is how quietly it happens. City councils approve a handful of cameras for "traffic safety" or "crime deterrence," and before residents realize it, those cameras are networked into a system that can track vehicle movements across state lines, shared with agencies far beyond the original jurisdiction. Scale that up to "every city" and you've built a de facto national tracking grid, run by a private company, with minimal public oversight baked in from the start.
This is exactly why mapping where these cameras already exist matters — you can't push back on expansion you can't see. Check our camera map to find Flock deployments near you, and if you want to do something about it, our take-action resources walk through how to raise this with your local officials before "every city" becomes your city too.
