Biden's Car K*ll Switch, & Nationwide Flock Cameras Turn America Into A Surveillance State!
The short version: A YouTube creator links Flock Safety's ALPR expansion to car 'kill switch' fears; we focus on what's verifiable: thousands of networked plate cameras quietly logging Americans' movements.
Our Take
TheNewAmericanMedia ties Flock Safety's camera rollout to a broader story about vehicle 'kill switch' mandates. We can't verify the kill-switch framing, and we're not in the business of amplifying speculation. But strip away that layer and the underlying alarm about Flock is legitimate: thousands of automated license plate readers now sit on streets and intersections nationwide, quietly building a searchable record of where your car has been, when, and how often.
That's the part that matters regardless of which administration or policy story you attach it to. Flock markets itself to local police departments as a crime-solving tool, but the infrastructure doesn't care about your politics — it logs everyone, suspect or not, and the data gets shared across a growing network of agencies with little public oversight or retention limits in most towns.
Credit to the channel for putting Flock in front of an audience that might not otherwise hear about it, even if we'd encourage viewers to separate the verified surveillance buildout from the unverified policy claims. If you want the facts on what's actually watching your street, check our camera map, and if your city hasn't had a public debate about this yet, our take-action guide is a good place to start one.
