Will addresses Roseville City Council about Flock & ALPR 8/5/26
The short version: A resident named Will pushes back on Flock Safety ALPRs at a Roseville City Council meeting, adding to a growing chorus of local pushback captured by Central Sierra Foothills DSA.
Our Take
Public comment periods are where a lot of the real fight against mass surveillance actually happens, one city council meeting at a time. Credit to Central Sierra Foothills DSA for filming Will's remarks to Roseville's council and getting them in front of a wider audience, because these local records are often the only documentation that a community ever pushed back before a Flock contract got rubber-stamped.
Roseville is one of hundreds of California cities that have quietly wired themselves into Flock Safety's network without much public debate about who gets access to the data, how long it's retained, or whether it's shared with ICE, out-of-state agencies, or private databases. A single resident standing up and asking hard questions is a small act, but it's exactly how these systems have been slowed or rolled back elsewhere — through sustained local pressure, not just viral outrage.
