FLOCK CAMERAS ARE EVERYWHERE!
The short version: A Georgia attorney's viral warning about Flock cameras underscores how normalized ALPR surveillance has become, even to legal professionals just noticing the scale.
Our Take
When a practicing attorney stops mid-scroll to say "these cameras are everywhere," that's worth paying attention to. Attorney Stephanie's video, built for a TikTok/shorts audience, captures something we hear constantly from ordinary drivers: people are only now clocking that the black-and-silver poles at their intersections and neighborhood entrances are part of a sprawling, privately-run license plate reader network. Credit to her for putting a legal voice behind the gut reaction so many Americans are having right now.
That reaction is correct, and the scale is the point. Flock Safety has placed cameras in thousands of communities across the country, quietly building what amounts to a national vehicle-tracking grid, accessible to local police and increasingly cross-shared between agencies and states with little public oversight. A lawyer noticing this in Georgia is a signal of how far the rollout has outpaced public debate about warrants, data retention, and who ultimately gets to query your movements.
If a video like this makes you want to know what's actually watching your own street, check our camera map to see documented ALPR locations near you, and visit our take-action page for concrete steps — records requests, city council scripts, and more — to push back on unchecked surveillance in your community.
