Flock Safety cameras face growing backlash and widespread vandalism #shorts
The short version: Fox News notes growing backlash and vandalism against Flock Safety ALPRs, confirming what communities nationwide already feel about unchecked surveillance creep.
Our Take
When Fox News is running segments on Flock Safety backlash, you know this isn't a fringe issue anymore. It's a sign that ordinary residents — not just privacy wonks — are noticing thousands of license-plate cameras popping up on their streets without a vote, a public hearing, or a real conversation about who gets access to that data and for how long.
We don't endorse vandalism, and destroying hardware doesn't fix the underlying problem: a private company building a searchable, networked map of everyone's daily movements and selling it to police departments with minimal oversight. The anger is understandable, but the real leverage is public pressure — open records requests, city council pushback, and demanding contracts get killed or rewritten before installation, not after.
If you want to see how far this network already reaches near you, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back through legal channels rather than a crowbar, our take-action page has the tools.
