What if Flock Safety Cameras Started Tracking YOU?
The short version: RedLightNews asks 'what if' Flock cameras tracked you—but that's already happening in thousands of towns across America.
Our Take
RedLightNews poses the question as a hypothetical: what if these cameras started tracking you? We'd push back on the framing a little—this isn't a future risk, it's the current business model. Flock Safety's whole pitch to police departments is a searchable, networked record of where your car has been, when, and how often, stitched together across jurisdictions with no warrant required to look you up.
The short format doesn't leave room for the details, but that's exactly why they matter. A single Flock camera on your street isn't the story; it's the thousands of them talking to each other, building a rolling log of ordinary people's movements that cops, and sometimes outside agencies, can query without much oversight. That's the part local city councils rarely get told before they sign the contract.
If a clip like this makes you wonder whether your own neighborhood is already wired up, don't guess—check our map to see what's nearby, and if you want to push back on it, our take-action guide walks you through raising it at the next council meeting.
