That’s Flocked up! TRUTH about A.L.P.Rs

Our Take

Credit to Matthew DeLuca for putting a spotlight on Flock Safety's camera network and asking the question more Americans need to ask: who's watching, who's storing it, and why did nobody vote on this? Every video like this chips away at the "it's just for finding stolen cars" narrative that Flock's sales team leans on when pitching city councils behind closed doors.

The bigger picture here is that these cameras aren't isolated devices sitting on a single street corner. They're networked, they log every passing plate whether or not you're suspected of anything, and that data gets shared across jurisdictions in ways most residents never agreed to. That's the actual "truth" worth sitting with — not whether one camera caught one bad guy, but what it means when a private company builds a de facto national tracking grid for law enforcement with little independent oversight.

If this video got you looking twice at the poles on your street, don't stop there. Check our camera map to see what's already been documented near you, and head to our take-action page for concrete steps to push back at your next city council meeting.
