BRC News 13: Flock Cameras in Carbon County
The short version: A local Carbon County newscast on new Flock ALPR cameras underscores how surveillance infrastructure spreads quietly through small-town budget line items and press releases.
Our Take
BRC 13's News Hour segment on Flock cameras landing in Carbon County is a reminder that this surveillance buildout isn't just a big-city story — it's happening in rural counties and small towns across the country, often with the same talking points about "solving crime" and little public debate about data retention, access sharing, or who's watching the watchers.
Local news coverage like this matters because it's usually the only paper trail residents get before a network of plate-reading cameras becomes a permanent fixture logging every car that passes through town. Credit to BRC 13 for putting it on the record, but a single news segment isn't the same as informed consent from the community being tracked.
If you're in Carbon County or anywhere else wondering what's already watching you, check our camera map to see what's been documented nearby, and visit our take-action page if you want to push back at a city council meeting or file a records request.
