What’s wrong with our society?#flockcameras#flocksafety#stalking
The short version: A creator known as Uzi DoorDash asks a blunt question about Flock cameras and stalking, and it's one DeFlock USA has been asking for years.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: Uzi DoorDash's video cuts straight to the uncomfortable question that keeps coming up around Flock Safety's network — what happens when a system built to "solve crime" becomes a tool for someone to track an ex, a rival, or a stranger they've fixated on? We don't have the specifics of this creator's story, but the instinct to connect ALPR surveillance with stalking isn't paranoia. It's a pattern that's shown up in police misuse scandals across the country, where officers or contractors with database access ran plates for personal reasons that had nothing to do with public safety.
That's the core problem with Flock's pitch: the cameras don't just catch the bad guy in the one scenario the marketing reel shows you. They log every plate that passes, building a searchable history of where you've been and when, available to anyone with login credentials and, often, far too little oversight on how that access gets audited. A system with that much reach doesn't need to be hacked to be abused — it just needs one person with bad intentions and a password.
If you're wondering whether your own street has one of these cameras watching it, check our camera map to see what's been documented near you. And if this video left you asking what you can actually do about it, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the city council level, where these contracts actually get decided.
