Mass Surveillance Cameras BANNED in 54+ US Cities! 🚫📸

Our Take

Credit where it's due: The Left Current TV is tracking something we think deserves way more attention — the growing list of cities that have walked away from Flock Safety contracts. Whatever the exact final count turns out to be, the trend line matters more than any single number. For years the pitch to city councils was simple: these cameras are just for finding stolen cars and Amber Alerts, nothing to worry about. Once residents started asking who else gets access to that data, how long it's stored, and whether a private company should be building a searchable record of everyone's movements, a lot of those councils had second thoughts.

This is exactly the dynamic we've been watching at DeFlock. Flock's sales strategy depends on quiet, low-friction approvals — a police chief makes the case, a council rubber-stamps it, and nobody outside city hall notices until the cameras are already bolted to the pole. Cancellations happen when that pattern breaks: when someone pulls the contract, maps where the cameras actually are, and brings it to a public meeting. That's the leverage point, and it's repeatable in any town with enough people paying attention.

If your city has Flock gear up, or you're trying to figure out if it does, check our camera map before the next council vote sneaks by you. And if you want to push for a cancellation of your own, our take-action guide walks through what's actually worked in the cities this video is talking about.
