Deflock's Open Source Army is Growing
The short version: Valleytech Custom Solutions breaks down Flock's ALPR sprawl and security flaws, showing that organized local pressure is actually getting cameras removed.
Our Take
Valleytech Custom Solutions lays out something we've been saying since day one: this fight isn't hypothetical, and it isn't hopeless. Flock's network has metastasized into thousands of towns with almost no public debate, cross-jurisdiction data sharing, and security holes that researchers keep finding. That's not a bug in the rollout — it's the business model. Move fast, get a police department to sign a contract, skip the public hearing.
What's notable here is the emphasis on the "open source army" — regular people mapping cameras, filing records requests, and showing up to city council meetings with actual documentation instead of vague fears. That's exactly the kind of grassroots pressure that's already gotten Flock removed in a handful of cities. It works because it makes the invisible visible: once residents see a spreadsheet of every reader logging their commute, the conversation changes fast.
