Americans are DEACTIVATING Flock cameras
The short version: Kim Iversen spotlights Americans physically disabling Flock ALPR cameras, a sign that frustration with unaccountable surveillance is boiling into direct action.
Our Take
Kim Iversen's video taps into something we've been tracking for a while: people are done waiting for city councils to act and are taking matters into their own hands. Whether you see camera tampering as civil disobedience or vandalism, the underlying message is hard to ignore — a growing number of Americans feel like these devices were bolted onto their streets without consent, and they're responding accordingly.
We're not in the business of cheering on property destruction, but we understand the impulse. Flock Safety's network has expanded into thousands of communities with little public debate, often through quiet city staff decisions rather than transparent votes. When residents feel locked out of the process, some will eventually find their own way to push back. That's a predictable outcome of deploying mass surveillance infrastructure without real accountability or sunset clauses.
If you'd rather fight this battle with facts and public pressure instead of wire cutters, that's exactly what we're here for. Check our camera map to see what's been installed near you, and visit our take-action page for ways to organize, file records requests, and push your local government toward real oversight before frustration boils over into the streets.
