Brandon Herrera Doubles Down Against Flock Cameras..
The short version: MattyO covers congressional candidate Brandon Herrera's continued public stance against Flock Safety's ALPR network, adding a political dimension to the surveillance fight.
Our Take
Credit to MattyO for keeping a spotlight on this: when a congressional candidate like Brandon Herrera keeps pushing back on Flock Safety cameras instead of letting the issue fade after one viral clip, it signals that ALPR surveillance is becoming a real campaign issue rather than a niche complaint. That matters because most of the fight against these networks has happened in city council meetings and local Facebook groups, not on the national political stage.">
Whether or not you agree with Herrera on anything else, the substance here is what counts: thousands of Flock cameras are logging plate reads on ordinary people with no warrant, often shared across jurisdictions with little public oversight. When candidates start treating that as a talking point, it opens the door for constituents to actually ask their own representatives where they stand — and that pressure is how policy changes.
