Republicans & Bernie Sanders Unite Against Flock Cameras #flockcameras
The short version: A short from Full Armour Media Group highlights the rare left-right alliance against Flock's roughly 120,000 license plate cameras, and that convergence is the real story.
Our Take
When Bernie Sanders and House Republicans start citing the same Axios report with the same alarm, it's worth stopping to ask why. Full Armour Media Group's short gets at something we've been saying for a while: Flock Safety's network of roughly 120,000 AI-powered plate readers has grown so large and so opaque that it's no longer a left-vs-right issue. It's a government-vs-everyone-else issue.
That's the real significance here. Surveillance infrastructure doesn't care who's in power. A database that tracks every car's movement can be subpoenaed by a blue-state DA, a red-state sheriff, or a federal agency with a theory nobody voted for. The fact that progressive lawmakers and conservative members of Congress are both pushing back on Flock contracts and federal access isn't a fluke — it's a sign the scale of this system has outrun whatever consent anyone gave for it.
Short-form videos like this are useful for getting the issue in front of people who've never heard the word 'ALPR,' but the next step is local. Contracts get renewed or killed in city council meetings, not on cable news. Check our camera map to see what's already deployed near you, and if you want to push back where it counts, our take-action page has the tools to do it.
