Siguen las controversias con las cámaras Flock
The short version: A Spanish-language report from Juan Guevara Torres shows Flock camera controversies are crossing language and community lines across the U.S.
Our Take
Credit to Juan Guevara Torres for bringing the Flock Safety debate to Spanish-speaking audiences, a reminder that license plate surveillance doesn't stay confined to English-language news cycles or any one neighborhood. When a local controversy gets picked up by independent creators covering it for different communities, it signals that concern about these cameras is spreading well beyond the usual policy wonks and civil liberties groups.
The details in the video are thin on specifics, but the broader pattern holds: Flock's ALPR network keeps generating pushback wherever it's installed, whether that's over data retention, who gets access to the footage, or the simple fact that most residents never got a real say before cameras went up on their streets. These are the same questions we've been raising since day one, and it's worth noting how often the controversy looks identical from city to city regardless of language or politics.
If you want to see whether Flock or similar ALPR systems are already watching your block, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back locally, our take-action page has concrete steps for getting answers from your city council.
