BUSTED: Flock Safety Claimed They Don't Do This - We Caught Them
The short version: Legally Armed America says it caught Flock Safety doing exactly what the company publicly claims its cameras don't do, reviving old trust questions.
Our Take
Legally Armed America digs into a recurring problem with Flock Safety: the gap between what the company says its ALPR network does and what the hardware and data pipeline are actually capable of. Whether the issue here is expanded data capture, retention, or sharing beyond the stated "just license plates" line, the pattern is familiar — vendors make narrow public claims while the technical reality, contracts, and police usage agreements tell a broader story.
This matters because most people's only information about these cameras comes from company press releases and city council talking points, not independent testing. When a creator with a camera and some patience can contradict the official line, that's a signal the public deserves actual audits, not marketing copy. Credit to Legally Armed America for doing that legwork and putting it on record.
