FLOCK CAMERAS 📸
The short version: Iansá Magazine turns its lens on Flock Safety's license plate cameras, adding another independent voice to the growing public scrutiny of ALPR surveillance.
Our Take
Credit to Iansá Magazine for pointing a camera back at the cameras. Every new outlet that takes a hard look at Flock Safety's ALPR network — even with a short, punchy title like "FLOCK CAMERAS" — chips away at the idea that this technology should operate in the dark. The more creators from different beats and backgrounds start asking questions, the harder it gets for these systems to spread unchecked.
We don't have the transcript in front of us, so we won't pretend to know every point made here. But the broader truth holds regardless of the specifics: these cameras are quietly logging where you drive, when, and how often, and stitching that into a searchable database that police departments and private company employees can access with far less oversight than most people assume. That's the real story, no matter which angle a given video takes.
If this video has you wondering whether there's a Flock camera on your own street, stop wondering — check our map. And if you want to do more than just watch and worry, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the city council level, where these contracts actually get decided.
