Flock Cameras Spark Backlash Across US | 10's Late News
The short version: 10 News captures mounting public anger over Flock's AI license plate cameras, and the backlash is a sign communities are waking up to mass surveillance.
Our Take
Credit to 10 News for putting a camera on what we've been tracking for a while now: ordinary residents pushing back on Flock Safety's quiet takeover of their towns. When local news starts running segments on "growing anger," that's not a fringe reaction anymore — it's a trend. People are realizing these aren't just parking-lot cameras; they're networked, AI-driven trackers building a searchable record of where everyone drives, every day.
What makes this backlash notable is that it's bipartisan and bottom-up. It's not coming from Washington think tanks — it's coming from city council meetings, local Facebook groups, and neighbors who found out a camera went up on their street without a public vote. That's the pattern we see nationwide: Flock moves fast, often through quiet police department contracts, before most residents even know to ask questions.
If you want to see whether this is already happening near you, check our camera map — it's crowdsourced and growing. And if you're ready to do something about it, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the local level, where these fights are actually won or lost.
