They Used Flock Cameras to Spy on Minors??
The short version: Tucker Carlson's channel flags claims that Flock ALPR data swept up minors, underscoring why unchecked camera networks threaten everyone, kids included.
Our Take
Tucker Carlson's team is shining a light on a claim that should make any parent's stomach turn: that Flock Safety's automated license plate readers were used in ways that touched minors. We haven't independently verified every detail in the video, but the broader pattern it points to is exactly what we've been warning about — these camera networks sweep up data on everyone who drives past, with little transparency about who gets access, how long it's stored, or what it's used for.
This is the core problem with ALPR dragnets: they're sold as tools to catch stolen cars and wanted felons, but the infrastructure doesn't discriminate. Once a city installs these cameras, the data trail they create can be queried, shared, and repurposed far beyond the original pitch — and when minors end up in that trail, the stakes for privacy and safety get even higher. Credit to Tucker Carlson's channel for putting this in front of a mainstream audience that might not otherwise be tracking the Flock story.
