What the Flock! Surveillance Camera's are Popping up Everywhere and Now They Track YOU!
The short version: Grant Stinchfield's latest video spotlights Flock Safety's explosive growth, adding another independent voice warning that license plate readers are quietly normalizing mass tracking of ordinary drivers.
Our Take
Grant Stinchfield is the latest commentator to notice what we've been documenting for a while: Flock Safety cameras are multiplying fast, and most people driving past them have no idea they're being logged. His framing — "Big Brother arriving one license plate at a time" — is blunt, but it's not wrong. These aren't speed cameras or red-light enforcement tools. They're dragnet systems that capture every passing vehicle, store the data, and make it searchable by police departments across jurisdictional lines.
What makes this coverage matter isn't that it's breaking new technical ground — it's that mainstream and independent media figures outside the privacy-advocacy bubble are starting to connect the dots for a broader audience. When a show with Stinchfield's reach starts asking why a private company's cameras are tracking Americans' daily movements with so little public debate or oversight, that's a sign the conversation is widening past activists and into the mainstream, which is exactly what it takes to get local city councils to start asking harder questions before signing new Flock contracts.
