This is why Tucker Carlson is talking about Flock Cameras
The short version: When Tucker Carlson starts questioning Flock Safety, it's a sign ALPR surveillance has finally broken into mainstream political conversation — from both sides of the aisle.
Our Take
San Joaquin News Network flags something worth noting: Tucker Carlson, no stranger to picking fights that scramble the usual left-right lines, has apparently turned his attention to Flock Safety's license plate readers. We haven't independently verified everything said in the clip, but the fact that it's happening at all matters more than the specifics. Mass ALPR surveillance has largely metastasized under the radar, sold city by city as a quiet public-safety upgrade with little public debate.
That's exactly why moments like this matter. When commentators who agree on almost nothing else start asking the same question — why are private companies building a nationwide vehicle-tracking network with minimal oversight — it signals the issue is bigger than partisan politics. Surveillance infrastructure doesn't care who's in office; once it's built, it's built, and it gets used by whoever holds power next.
We'd encourage anyone newly paying attention thanks to this video to see for themselves what's already been installed nearby using our camera map, and to check our take-action page for ways to push back at the local level, where these decisions actually get made.
