This company openly advertises what they lie about on their website #deflock #flockcameras
The short version: A creator called Discount Soldier Boy argues Flock Safety's own marketing contradicts the privacy assurances it gives to cities and residents.
Our Take
Credit to Discount Soldier Boy for doing what more people should do: actually reading the sales pitch Flock Safety puts in front of police departments and city councils, then comparing it to the reassurances given to the public. When a company's own advertising copy undercuts its talking points about limited data use or narrow scope, that's not a conspiracy theory — it's a contradiction sitting in plain text on their own site.
This matters because most ALPR rollouts happen with almost no public debate. A city manager sees a glossy brochure promising to catch stolen cars and wandering suspects, a council votes yes in five minutes, and suddenly every plate on every car driving through town is logged, time-stamped, and stored. The gap between the sales deck and the privacy policy is exactly where mass surveillance infrastructure gets built without consent — one contradiction at a time, in city after city.
If you want to see whether this is happening in your own neighborhood, check our camera map for documented Flock locations near you, and if you find one, use our take-action page to push your local government for answers before the next contract renewal.
