Flock Cameras Read Phone Screens & Cause Deadly Accidents! #shorts
The short version: A War Room short claims Flock cameras can capture phone screens and ties the tech to a fatal case, underscoring how little oversight these networks actually get.
Our Take
Credit to The_War_Room for putting a spotlight on something we keep harping on: nobody really knows the full capability of the cameras bolted to poles in their own neighborhood. If a Flock ALPR can pick up enough detail to read what's on a phone screen, that's a resolution and scope of surveillance way beyond "just license plates," and it deserves real scrutiny, not a press release from the company that sells the hardware.
We can't verify the specifics of the vehicular homicide case referenced in the video, and we're not going to pretend we have details we don't. But the broader point stands: when a private company's camera network gets woven into criminal cases and high-stakes decisions, the public deserves transparency about accuracy, retention, and how footage gets used and shared — not just a vendor's marketing claims about public safety wins.
This is exactly why we built our camera map — so people can see what's actually watching their streets instead of taking it on faith. If you want to push back on unchecked ALPR deployment in your town, our take-action page is a good place to start.
