ILLEGAL MIGRANTS FLOCK BORDER TO RETURN AS WEST BENGAL STARTS DEPORTATION DRIVE.
The short version: This gohash video covers India's West Bengal deportation drive for undocumented migrants and has nothing to do with Flock Safety ALPR surveillance.
Our Take
We cover automated license plate readers and the Flock Safety network here in the United States, and this video — about a deportation crackdown in West Bengal, India — simply isn't in our lane. The word "flock" in the title is just English usage, not a reference to the surveillance company we track, and we don't want to stretch a connection that isn't there. Credit to the channel gohash for their reporting on a serious domestic policy story in India; it deserves coverage on its own terms, just not from us.
We mention it mainly to be transparent about why it showed up in our queue and to redirect folks who landed here looking for ALPR news. If you came for surveillance accountability, that's exactly what we do: tracking where automated license plate readers are deployed, who's running them, and what that means for your privacy as you drive through your own town.
Check out our camera map to see what's logged near you, and if you want to push back on unchecked camera networks, our take-action page has concrete steps for contacting local officials and demanding transparency.
