Flock Safety's camera network now exceeds 120,000 cameras across 49 states. #Flock #ALPR #News
The short version: Kacee Allen's short video flags a grim milestone — Flock's ALPR network now tops 120,000 cameras in 49 states — and we think that scale demands scrutiny, not shrugs.
Our Take
Credit to Kacee Allen for putting a number on something a lot of us have felt anecdotally: Flock Safety's camera network isn't a niche pilot program anymore, it's a de facto national surveillance grid. 120,000 cameras spread across 49 states means there are very few corners of the country left where your plate isn't getting logged, timestamped, and fed into a database that local police departments increasingly share with each other — and sometimes with federal agencies.
What makes this number more than just a stat is how quietly it got there. Most of these installs happen through HOA contracts, city council consent agenda items, or quiet police department procurement — rarely with a public vote on whether a private company should be building a searchable record of everyone's movements. Scale like this doesn't happen because voters demanded it; it happens because nobody was watching the fine print.
If you want to see how saturated your own city or neighborhood already is, check our camera map. And if 120,000 and counting sounds like a number that should be going down instead of up, our take-action page has the tools to push back at the local level, where these fights are actually winnable.
