Flock Cameras Don't Keep Us Safe| #flock #aclu #shorts| ACLU
The short version: The ACLU's short video adds a major civil liberties voice to the growing chorus saying Flock's ALPR network trades privacy for a false sense of safety.
Our Take
When one of the country's biggest civil liberties organizations puts out a short, blunt video saying Flock cameras don't keep us safe, it's worth paying attention. The ACLU has spent decades fighting government overreach, and their framing here is simple: mass surveillance isn't safety, it's a trade-off — and the public rarely gets a real say in that trade.
That matters because Flock's pitch to city councils is almost always about safety first, questions later. Departments buy the cameras, data gets logged nationwide, and communities are left to discover after the fact how their plates are being tracked, shared, and stored. The ACLU joining the pushback is a reminder that this isn't a fringe complaint — it's a mainstream civil rights concern.
