Police search for who is cutting down Flock cameras that catch criminals... liberals that hate ICE
The short version: Millionaire Morning Show frames Flock camera vandalism as a partisan 'liberals vs ICE' story, but the backlash against ALPR surveillance cuts across the political spectrum.
Our Take
The Millionaire Morning Show's framing here is a classic move: take a real phenomenon — people disabling Flock Safety cameras — and slap a tidy partisan label on it. The reality we track at DeFlock is messier and more interesting. Camera vandalism and tampering incidents have popped up in red counties and blue cities alike, often from people who simply don't want a private company logging every car that passes a given intersection, regardless of who's in charge of ICE or anything else.
That's the part the segment skips: this isn't a left-vs-right culture war story, it's a surveillance story. Flock's network exists because thousands of local police departments signed contracts with little public debate, and now millions of plate scans are being shared across jurisdictions and, in some cases, with federal agencies. Painting the pushback as fringe political anger lets everyone avoid the actual question — why was this infrastructure installed with so little oversight in the first place.
