What you can do about FLOCK cameras in your neighborhood. #shorts #flocksafety

The short version: Calvin Clark's short spotlights how everyday residents can push back on Flock cameras popping up in their neighborhoods.

Our Take

Calvin Clark's short is a reminder that the fight against ALPR creep isn't just a Washington story — it's a block-by-block one. When a camera shows up on your street, the first question most people ask is simple: who put that there, and why wasn't I asked? That instinct is exactly right, and it's the starting point for pushing back.

What we'd add to Clark's take is that "doing something" starts with documentation. Knowing where these cameras are, who operates them, and what city council or HOA approved the contract turns a vague unease into an actionable case. That's why we built our camera map — so residents can see the scope of Flock's footprint in their own area instead of guessing.

Short-form videos like this one matter because they reach people who'd never read a policy report but will absolutely watch a 60-second clip about cameras on their own street. If that's you, don't stop at awareness — check our take-action page for concrete steps, from public records requests to showing up at the council meeting where these contracts actually get decided.
