Over 10,000 Flock Cameras in Florida?! 😳🚨

The short version: Julian Dorey's video spotlights Florida's explosive Flock camera growth, underscoring how fast ALPR surveillance is scaling with little public debate.

Our Take

Ten thousand-plus cameras in one state is the kind of number that should stop people in their tracks, and credit to Julian Dorey for putting a spotlight on just how fast Flock Safety has blanketed Florida. This isn't a slow creep anymore β€” it's a sprint, and most residents have no idea their daily drive to work or the grocery store is being logged, timestamped, and stored in a database they'll never see.

What makes Florida's numbers so alarming is the pattern it reveals nationally: once a handful of cities sign contracts, neighboring jurisdictions follow fast, often without meaningful public hearings or debate about data retention, access, or who else gets to query that information. Scale like this turns a "public safety tool" into a de facto tracking grid, and the sheer density of cameras means there's almost nowhere left to drive without being recorded.

If you want to see how your own area stacks up, check our camera map to find Flock installations near you, and if Florida's numbers make you uneasy, head to our take-action page to find out how to push back at the local level before your city becomes the next entry on that list.
