Denouncing Police’s Abuse of Flock, protection of corrupt officers & murders of innocent people.
The short version: A creator called dogE Egod argues Flock's ALPR network can shield bad cops and endanger the public, underscoring why unchecked plate-reader surveillance deserves scrutiny.
Our Take
Creator dogE Egod is making a pointed argument: that Flock Safety's camera network, sold to the public as a tool for solving crime, can just as easily become a shield for the people wearing badges. We can't verify every claim in the video, but the core concern — that a surveillance system with almost no independent oversight invites abuse — is exactly the kind of thing we've been flagging since we started tracking these cameras.
That's the uncomfortable truth about ALPR networks: the same database that logs your plate every time you drive past a gas station or school can also be queried, misused, or quietly walked back when an officer's own conduct is the subject of scrutiny. When there's no public audit trail, no meaningful consent, and no real accountability for who looks up what and why, 'protecting the community' starts to look a lot like protecting the department.
Videos like this matter because they put a human face on what is usually an abstract policy fight over data retention and vendor contracts. If you want to see whether Flock or similar readers are watching your own neighborhood, check our camera map, and if you think your city council should be asking harder questions before renewing a contract, our take-action page has steps to get started.
