Flock Was Bad? Look at This 💀
The short version: A clipped Julian Dorey segment suggests Flock's ALPR network might just be the tip of a much bigger surveillance iceberg, and that's worth taking seriously.
Our Take
This clip, pulled from a Julian Dorey conversation by @julianclipped0, frames Flock Safety as almost the 'gateway drug' of mass surveillance — bad, but maybe not even the main event. We can't verify every claim made in a chopped-up short, and we won't pretend to know exactly what 'this' is pointing to without the full context. But the broader point lands: Flock didn't build the first camera network, and it won't be the last. It's part of a growing ecosystem of license plate readers, data brokers, and quiet government contracts that most Americans never voted on and can't opt out of.
That's exactly why we track this stuff block by block instead of waiting for a bombshell. Flock cameras are already logging millions of plates a day across thousands of communities, feeding a searchable history of where you drive, when, and how often — all without a warrant. Whether or not there's something even bigger lurking behind it, the infrastructure already in your neighborhood deserves scrutiny right now.
