The Level1 Links with Friends Show September 15 2026: Flock Snitch Knishes
The short version: Level1Links With Friends' Wendell, Ryan, and Krista bring Flock Safety's ALPR surveillance into their tech news roundup, putting mass license plate tracking in front of a new audience.
Our Take
It's always worth a nod when a general tech show like Level1Links With Friends pulls Flock Safety into the conversation. Wendell, Ryan, and Krista spend most of their time on broader tech and entertainment news, so when ALPR surveillance makes the cut, it's a sign this story is leaking out of the usual privacy-and-policy bubble and into the mainstream tech-nerd consciousness. That matters, because Flock's network has grown largely in the dark — most residents have no idea how many cameras are logging their movements block by block.
We can't speak to every detail the hosts raise since this is a casual roundup rather than a deep investigative piece, but the instinct to flag Flock as a 'tech news' item rather than just a local-government story is the right one. These are networked cameras, cloud databases, and law enforcement data-sharing agreements — that's tech policy, full stop, and it deserves the same scrutiny as any other surveillance infrastructure built by a private company with minimal oversight.
If this segment has you wondering how close the nearest ALPR is to your own driveway, check our camera map and see what's already watching your street. And if you'd rather not just watch the conversation happen, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the city council level before these networks get any bigger.
