Flock Off Act: What is it? and What you can do. #trump #news #politics
The short version: ModernAction breaks down the bipartisan Flock Off Act, a real shot at defunding the license-plate surveillance grid — and what citizens can do right now.
Our Take
Credit to ModernAction for putting the Flock Off Act on more people's radar. It's rare to see a surveillance-reform bill get bipartisan traction, but that's exactly what's happening as lawmakers start asking why taxpayer dollars are funding a private company's ability to log every car that passes a Flock camera, cop or no cop, warrant or no warrant.
This is the part of the story that often gets buried: these aren't just "public safety tools." They're commercial surveillance networks, often bankrolled by local budgets with almost no public debate, feeding data into systems that can be queried by agencies far outside the town that paid for them. A bill aimed at cutting off that funding pipeline is one of the few concrete levers ordinary people and legislators actually have.
If this is news to you, it's worth checking whether Flock has already rolled into your city — our map tracks known camera locations nationwide. And if you want to push back locally, whether that's a city council vote or contacting your rep about bills like this one, our take action page has the tools to get started.
