Controversy grows over the use of Flock cameras | Behind the Investigation
The short version: Atlanta News First's local investigative team digs into growing backlash over Flock cameras, underscoring how surveillance scrutiny is building even in Flock's own hometown.
Our Take
There's something fitting about Atlanta News First turning its "Behind the Investigation" lens on Flock Safety — the company's headquarters sits right there in Georgia. When local reporters in a corporation's own backyard start digging into public unease over its product, that's a signal worth paying attention to, not a routine local news segment.
We don't have the full transcript in front of us, but the framing alone tells the story: controversy over these cameras isn't fading, it's spreading. That tracks with what we're seeing nationwide — city councils quietly renewing contracts while residents only find out an ALPR network is watching every car that passes through town after the fact. Credit to the Atlanta News First team for putting a camera on the cameras.
