Want Flock Cameras Gone? Start Here
The short version: Buntai's video makes the case that killing Flock contracts happens through paperwork and public meetings, not just outrage.
Our Take
Credit to Buntai for cutting through the noise with a practical point: Flock cameras don't disappear because people are angry on the internet. They disappear because someone shows up to a city council meeting, pulls the actual contract, checks the renewal date, and asks pointed questions about the policy governing who can access the data and why. That's unglamorous work, but it's the only work that actually moves these systems.
This matters because Flock and similar ALPR vendors count on apathy and procedural obscurity. Multi-year contracts auto-renew quietly. Invoices get approved on consent agendas nobody reads. Policy language is vague enough to let departments expand surveillance without a new vote. By the time residents notice the cameras, the paperwork trail that could have stopped them is already cold. Treating this like a local-government accountability problem, not just a privacy slogan, is exactly the right frame.
If you want to see what's already watching your streets, check our camera map, and if you're ready to start pulling contracts and showing up to meetings yourself, our take-action page has the groundwork laid out.
