Flock Cameras Are Going to Be a PROBLEM!

Clayton Cuteri ACP · 3 months ago

The short version: Clayton Cuteri ACP flags Flock Safety's expanding camera network as a looming civil liberties problem, echoing warnings watchdogs have raised for years.

Our Take

Clayton Cuteri ACP is the latest creator to sound the alarm on Flock Safety's rapid buildout, and honestly, the title says it plainly: these cameras are going to be a problem, if they aren't already. Whether the focus is dragnet tracking, data sharing with agencies outside the cameras' host jurisdiction, or the sheer pace of installation with little public input, the throughline is the same one we've been hammering on for years — a private company is quietly building the infrastructure for nationwide movement tracking, one city council vote at a time.

What makes videos like this valuable isn't just the alarm bell, it's reach. Most people have no idea there's a camera on their daily commute logging their plate, the make and model of their car, and a timestamp, all funneled into a searchable database that can be queried by cops hundreds of miles away. Content like Cuteri's chips away at that ignorance one viewer at a time, and that awareness is the first step toward actually pushing back at a city council meeting or a school board.

If this video has you wondering what's parked at the end of your own street, check our camera map to see what's already been documented near you, and head to take-action for concrete steps to push back before the network gets even bigger.
