Flock Surveillance Camera Growth From January 2024 To May 2026 😳

Ubiquitous Entertainment · 5 months ago

The short version: A timelapse from Ubiquitous Entertainment shows Flock cameras multiplying across the country in barely two years, turning an abstract privacy debate into a visual gut-punch.

Our Take

Credit to Ubiquitous Entertainment for doing what a thousand policy briefings can't: showing, frame by frame, how fast Flock Safety's ALPR network has metastasized since January 2024. Watching dots bloom across the map month after month makes the scale of this rollout impossible to wave off as a few cameras in a few towns.

This is exactly the pattern we track β€” quiet city council approvals, "public safety" pilot programs, and then suddenly a county is blanketed with devices logging every vehicle that passes, no warrant required. A visual like this underscores why transparency matters: most residents have no idea how many cameras sit on their daily commute, who's paying for them, or how long their location history is being stored and shared.

If this timelapse made your stomach drop, don't stop at watching. Check our camera map to see what's already been documented near you, and head to our take-action page for concrete steps to push back at the local level before the next dot gets added.
