Flock Safety CEO Admits Cops Used Surveillance Tools to Stalk People #Shorts

Latest Tech Memes · 1 month ago

The short version: A short from Latest Tech Memes catches Flock Safety's own CEO conceding that officers have abused the company's ALPR network to stalk people, confirming watchdogs' worst fears.

Our Take

Credit to Latest Tech Memes for surfacing a clip that Flock Safety would probably rather you forget. When the company's own CEO admits on camera that police have used this "public safety" network to track and stalk individuals, that's not a hypothetical civil-liberties concern anymore — it's a confirmed failure mode, straight from the top.

This is exactly the abuse pattern we've been warning about: thousands of cameras logging every passing plate, feeding a searchable history of where you've been and when, with audit logs that depend entirely on departments actually reviewing them. An officer with a grudge, an ex, or an unhealthy interest in a stranger doesn't need a warrant to misuse that kind of access — just a login. "Trust us" policies don't stop stalking; they just make it quieter.

If a company executive is willing to admit this on record, you can bet it's happened more than once and been caught fewer times than that. Check our camera map to see what's been installed near you, and head to take-action if you want to push your local council for real audit transparency instead of corporate talking points.
