Flock Camera Hack: The Aftermath #flock #hack

Our Take

This clip from Business Reform's interview with Benn Jordan gives a glimpse into what happens after someone pokes a hole in the Flock Safety narrative. Jordan has built a reputation digging into how these ALPR systems actually work under the hood, and when researchers find weaknesses in systems that scan and store the movements of millions of drivers, the reaction from the industry and from local officials who rely on these contracts tells you a lot about how seriously anyone is actually auditing this tech.

We don't have independent verification of every technical claim made in the interview, so we're not going to repeat specifics here — watch the embed and judge the sourcing yourself. But the broader point stands regardless of the fine details: a surveillance network this size, deployed across thousands of communities with little public debate, should not be taking researchers' word for its own security. It should be inviting outside scrutiny, publishing audits, and answering direct questions instead of leaving that job to independent YouTubers.

That's exactly the gap DeFlock exists to fill. If a camera near you has never been publicly accounted for, check our map to see what's already documented, and if you want to push back on a deployment in your town, our take-action page has steps that actually move the needle at the local level.
