Why Do They Have A Flock Camera Outside A G*n Range?!" 🚨 #shortsclip #juliandorey #podcastclips

The short version: A viral clip flags a Flock ALPR camera outside a gun range, raising the alarm about logging lawful visits to gun stores and ranges.

Our Take

Credit to Daily Julian for surfacing a clip that cuts right to the point: why is a Flock Safety camera parked outside a gun range, quietly logging every plate that comes and goes? You don't need to be a Second Amendment absolutist to see the problem. A camera at a gun range isn't reading traffic patterns β€” it's building a list of people who exercise a specific constitutional right, timestamped and searchable, often with zero warrant and zero public vote on whether that camera should exist.

This is the pattern with Flock's rollout everywhere: cameras show up outside churches, clinics, gun ranges, and immigration lawyers' offices, and the pitch is always "stolen cars" or "be on the lookout" alerts. But the database doesn't know the difference between a getaway car and your truck parked at the range on a Saturday. Once that plate-location history exists, it's one subpoena, one data-sharing agreement, or one bad actor with login access away from being used against the very people it claims to protect.

If a camera like this exists near you, it belongs on the record. Check our map to see what's already been logged in your area, and use our take-action guide to push back at your next city council meeting before this becomes normal.
