The continued fight against Flock cameras
The short version: Missouri Liberty Report spotlights grassroots pushback on Flock ALPR expansion, reminding us the fight against blanket license-plate surveillance is far from finished.
Our Take
Missouri Liberty Report's latest video puts a local lens on a national problem: Flock Safety cameras keep multiplying, often with little public debate before city councils sign the contracts. The channel's framing — that this fight "isn't over" — is exactly right. Every community that pushes back, asks hard questions, or demands a public vote is proof that these systems aren't inevitable, no matter how Flock's sales pitch makes them sound.
What makes ALPR creep so insidious is how normalized it becomes once the cameras go up. Nobody votes to live in a town where every car's movements are logged and stored in a searchable database, yet that's the reality rolling out block by block. Credit to Missouri Liberty Report for keeping that conversation alive at the local level, where these fights are actually won or lost.
