Flock is under serious pressure. Cities are dropping contracts. Congress is questioning its surveill
The short version: An injury lawyer's YouTube explainer notes mounting pressure on Flock Safety from canceled city contracts, congressional scrutiny, and security researchers probing its systems.
Our Take
When a personal injury attorney starts making videos about ALPR surveillance, you know the backlash has gone mainstream. Credit to Matt Moyer for laying out what we've been tracking for months: municipalities walking away from Flock Safety contracts, lawmakers in Washington asking pointed questions, and researchers poking holes in a surveillance network that was sold to the public as a simple crime-fighting tool.
None of this is happening in a vacuum. Every canceled contract and congressional inquiry is the direct result of residents showing up to city council meetings, filing records requests, and refusing to accept vague assurances about 'public safety' as a substitute for real oversight. Flock's business model depends on cities signing up quietly and keeping the cameras running without scrutiny — the moment that scrutiny arrives, the cracks start to show.
If you want to see how far this network has already spread into your own community, check out our camera map, and if you're ready to push back locally, our take-action resources walk you through exactly how to raise this with your city council before the next contract renewal sails through unnoticed.
