The short version: Kowala Media's clip flags Flock Safety's presence in Woodbury, another reminder that ALPR networks are spreading into communities with little public debate.
Our Take
Kowala Media drops us into Woodbury with a lens on Flock Safety, and even without a deep dive, the hashtags tell the story: #Privacy, #MediaFreeAmerica, #FlockSafety. That's the pattern we keep seeing nationwide — a company quietly wiring up another town's intersections with license plate readers, often before most residents know the cameras exist, let alone who can access the data they generate.
We don't have the full transcript here, but the throughline matters regardless of specifics: these systems get installed as a public-safety upgrade and end up as a permanent record of everyone's movements, shared across agencies and sometimes with federal partners, with minimal local oversight. Credit to Kowala Media for putting a camera on the issue in their own backyard — that kind of grassroots documentation is exactly how communities start asking the right questions about contracts, retention policies, and who's watching the watchers.
If you want to see whether Woodbury or your own town is on the grid, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back on a local deployment, our take-action page has the tools to get started.
