Our Take

Peter Zezas is digging into something we see constantly in this space: the distance between what a surveillance company says to reassure the public and what it says when it's trying to sell product. According to this video, the contradiction isn't buried in a leaked memo or a records request — it's sitting right there on the company's own marketing pages. That's the kind of self-inflicted credibility problem that deserves attention.

We can't verify every specific claim in a short video, and we won't pretend to have receipts we don't have. But the broader pattern Zezas is pointing at — a company downplaying surveillance capability or data-sharing in PR statements while touting those exact features to prospective law enforcement customers — is a recurring theme with Flock Safety and ALPR vendors generally. When the sales pitch and the public reassurance don't match, that mismatch is the story, regardless of which specific feature is at issue this week.

This is exactly why independent documentation matters more than press releases.
