Ron DeSantis ATTACKS Flock Cameras For Invasion of Privacy, Abuse 😳 # #politics #desantis #flock
The short version: When a Republican governor starts sounding like a privacy advocate on ALPRs, it's a sign Flock's surveillance creep has officially jumped the partisan divide.
Our Take
Credit to No Spin Politics for flagging this one: Ron DeSantis going after Flock Safety's license plate readers is notable not because he's wrong, but because of who's saying it. For years, pushback on mass ALPR surveillance got dismissed as a fringe left-privacy concern. Watching a conservative governor raise "invasion of privacy" and "abuse" in the same breath as these cameras tells you the problem has outgrown the usual political lanes.
That's really the point we keep hammering: Flock's network isn't a partisan tool, it's an infrastructure problem. Thousands of cameras logging every plate that passes, data shared across agencies with little transparency, and a business model that profits from treating every driver as a suspect. Whether the objection comes from a civil liberties group or a GOP governor, the underlying math is the same — more cameras, less oversight, more room for misuse.
