Flock cameras. The actual protest no one sees
The short version: Dan D spotlights the quiet, decentralized pushback against Flock cameras that mainstream coverage keeps missing.
Our Take
Dan D's video points at something we talk about constantly: the fight against ALPR sprawl isn't happening in front of news cameras, it's happening in city council comment periods, public records requests, and neighbors quietly asking why a pole showed up on their street overnight. That kind of resistance doesn't trend, but it's arguably more effective than a one-day rally because it forces local officials to answer for contracts they'd rather not discuss.
We appreciate Dan D putting a spotlight on this slower, grassroots layer of accountability. It's a reminder that you don't need a permit or a crowd to push back — you need information about where these cameras actually are and a willingness to show up and ask questions when your city considers renewing a Flock contract.
