WE NEED TO STOP THESE FLOCK CAMERAS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Delete Lawz · 3 months ago

The short version: Delete Lawz sounds the alarm on Flock's spreading camera network, and the urgency is warranted — public awareness is still way behind the rollout.

Our Take

Delete Lawz is tapping into something a lot of Americans are starting to feel in their gut: these cameras went up fast, with almost no public debate, and now they're everywhere. The channel's framing — that we need to act before it's too late — isn't hyperbole. Once a city signs a Flock contract and the poles go in, getting them taken back out is a political fight that takes months or years, while the data collection starts on day one.

We don't know the specific claims made in this video beyond the title and description, so we won't pretend to vouch for every detail. But the broader point stands: ALPR networks like Flock's quietly stitch together a timeline of where you drive, when, and how often, all without a warrant, and most residents have no idea their town even has these cameras until someone points it out. That's the whole reason grassroots pushback — camera counts, public records requests, city council showdowns — matters more than ever.
