How you can help DeFlock Easton Maryland
The short version: A local Easton, MD creator is rallying neighbors to push back on Flock cameras through lawful, peaceful civic action.
Our Take
This is exactly the kind of grassroots pushback that actually moves the needle on ALPR surveillance: a resident of Easton, Maryland, using their own channel to ask neighbors to show up — legally and peacefully — against Flock Safety's camera network in their town. Credit to the creator behind GetTheFlockOuttaHere for doing the unglamorous work of local organizing instead of just doomscrolling about surveillance creep. Town council meetings, public records requests, and neighbor-to-neighbor conversations are where these fights are actually won or lost, long before any state legislature gets involved.
Easton isn't unique. Flock's cameras have spread into thousands of towns with little public debate, often approved by a handful of officials with minimal community input and even less transparency about data sharing, retention, or who else gets access to the feeds. When a resident has to make a YouTube video just to ask their own town to hold a real conversation about this, that tells you how quietly these systems get installed in the first place.
If you're in Easton or anywhere else wondering whether Flock is already watching your street, check our camera map to see what's been documented near you, and head to our take-action page for concrete steps — records requests, council talking points, and more — to bring to your own local fight.
