They got Social Security max pay-flock cameras update-the democrats are broke
The short version: Antts Inc's video mashes Flock camera spending into a broader gripe about government budgets, underscoring how little the public knows about what these systems actually cost taxpayers.
Our Take
Credit to Antts Inc for keeping ALPR spending in the conversation, even if this video wanders into broader budget grievances. The core question buried in there is a real one: how much public money is going toward Flock Safety contracts, and is anyone outside the police department actually tracking it?
That's the pattern we see again and again. Cities sign multi-year Flock deals, often auto-renewing, with little line-by-line disclosure of what residents are paying per camera or per year. When budgets get tight, surveillance contracts rarely get the same scrutiny as other city services, because "public safety" spending tends to get a pass from elected officials who don't want to be seen as soft on crime.
Whatever your politics, the fix is the same: find out what's actually running in your area and push your council for a real accounting of the cost and the data-sharing agreements attached to it. Start with our camera map to see what's nearby, then use our take-action guide to demand the budget details your city should already be publishing.
