🎥 Protestan en San Diego contra cámaras Flock Safety.
The short version: San Diego residents rallied outside federal court against Flock Safety ALPRs, showing that opposition to mass license-plate surveillance crosses language and community lines.
Our Take
KSDY Canal 50 San Diego's report on Thursday's protest outside the Federal Courthouse is a reminder that pushback against Flock Safety isn't confined to any one neighborhood, language, or political corner. When people are willing to stand outside a federal building to object to a network of cameras logging their movements, that's a signal lawmakers and city councils shouldn't ignore.
We don't know yet what specific grievances drove this particular crowd — contract terms, data sharing with federal agencies, lack of community input — but the broader pattern is familiar. Flock's rapid expansion across California and the country has consistently outpaced public debate, and protests like this one are often the first real check on systems that were installed with little transparency to begin with.
If you want to see how many of these cameras are already watching your own streets, check our map, and if you're ready to push back locally, our take-action page has steps for making your voice heard before the next contract renewal.
