This is even WORSE than flock cameras
The short version: Bophilosopher flags a surveillance tool that may outpace Flock in scope, a reminder that ALPR networks are just one piece of a growing tracking web.
Our Take
Creator Bophilosopher's title alone says a lot: when a YouTuber says something is 'even worse than Flock cameras,' it means the baseline of concern has officially shifted. Flock Safety's ALPR network already logs millions of plates a day with little oversight, so claiming a new system tops that is a serious accusation worth taking seriously, even before we get into specifics.
We won't pretend to know the technical details of whatever system is being discussed until we've verified them ourselves, but the pattern is familiar: a company builds a surveillance product, sells it to police or private entities as 'public safety,' and rolls it out with minimal public debate or consent. Whether it's cameras, drones, or something else entirely, the result is the same — ordinary people get tracked by default, and transparency comes last, if at all.
This is exactly why we keep mapping known ALPR deployments and pushing residents to question new surveillance contracts before they're signed. Check our camera map to see what's already watching your community, and if you want to push back locally, our take-action guide has concrete steps for showing up at city council meetings and demanding answers.
