Flock Security Invasion πŸ‘

Talk About It With JT · 5 months ago

The short version: A creator on 'Talk About It With JT' sounds the alarm on Flock Safety's camera network, adding another everyday voice to the growing #fightflock chorus.

Our Take

Credit to JT for putting a spotlight on something most Americans drive past every day without a second thought: a Flock Safety camera quietly logging their plate, their location, and their movements into a database they never agreed to join. Videos like this matter because the pushback against ALPR sprawl isn't coming from Washington β€” it's coming from regular people noticing the hardware on their own streets and asking why it's there.

That instinct is exactly right. Flock's pitch is always 'public safety,' but the reality is a private company building a nationwide tracking grid, often with little public debate, weak retention rules, and almost no transparency about who gets access to the data or how it's audited. One creator's opinion video won't change that by itself, but it adds to a pattern: more and more ordinary people are realizing this isn't just a camera, it's a surveillance system with your name on it.

If this video got you wondering whether there's a Flock camera near you, stop wondering β€” check our camera map and see for yourself. And if you're ready to do more than watch, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the city council level, where these contracts actually get approved.
