James Fischbach: Flock Cameras Threaten Privacy
The short version: OANN Plus host Pearson Sharp and Zorya Capital's James Fischbach argue Flock Safety's ALPR network is a privacy threat — proof this issue crosses political lines.
Our Take
When a former Florida gubernatorial candidate sits down with OANN Plus to warn about license plate readers, it's worth noting: this isn't a fringe concern confined to one side of the aisle. James Fischbach's conversation with guest host Pearson Sharp adds another voice to a growing chorus of conservatives, libertarians, and civil liberties advocates who've all landed in the same place — Flock Safety's cameras are quietly building a nationwide surveillance dragnet with almost no public oversight.
We can't speak to every claim made in the segment, and we'd encourage viewers to treat any single interview as a starting point, not gospel. But the core issue Fischbach raises tracks with what we've documented for months: thousands of departments have plugged into Flock's network, data gets shared across jurisdictional lines, and the average driver has no idea their movements are being logged every time they pass one of these poles. That's not a partisan talking point — it's a description of how the system actually works.
Credit to OANN Plus for putting this in front of an audience that might not otherwise hear it.
