Jacksonville FL beats FLOCK CAMERAS!
The short version: A Jacksonville win against Flock Safety, as covered by Chasin Tacos, shows local pushback can actually slow ALPR expansion.
Our Take
Credit to Chasin Tacos for putting a spotlight on Jacksonville's pushback against Flock Safety's camera network. Wins like this don't happen often, and when they do, it's usually because residents and local officials actually showed up and asked hard questions instead of rubber-stamping another surveillance contract.
What makes these stories matter isn't just the one city — it's the precedent. Flock's whole business model depends on quiet, uncontested rollouts city by city, county by county. Every time a community forces a real debate about cost, data retention, or who gets access to that license plate data, it makes the next city's decision a little harder to wave through unnoticed.
If you're in a town facing the same pitch, don't wait for a viral video to make the case for you. Check our camera map to see what's already been deployed near you, and use our take-action resources to bring the same kind of scrutiny to your own city council.
