Flock's Own Blog Contradicted Its Testimony 🦊🚔 #Flock #Surveillance
The short version: Sly Decodes catches a Flock lobbyist telling West Virginia lawmakers 2FA was 'required for a long time' — while Flock's own blog says otherwise.
Our Take
Credit to Sly Decodes for digging up a receipts-based catch: a Flock Safety lobbyist reportedly told West Virginia lawmakers on August 9 that two-factor authentication had 'been required for a long time,' a claim that the video says doesn't line up with Flock's own public blog posts. When a company's sales pitch to legislators and its own documented history don't match, that's not a footnote — it's the whole story.
This matters because state and local lawmakers are making decisions about ALPR networks based largely on what Flock tells them. If the company is shading the timeline on basic security features like 2FA, what else is getting smoothed over when officials ask about data retention, audit logs, or who gets access to the millions of plate scans these cameras generate? Security promises aren't worth much if they arrived late and got described as having 'always' been there.
