Our Take

Credit to WAFF 48 and digital host Tatyana White for folding Flock Safety pushback into a routine weekly recap — right next to college football and local happenings. That placement matters. When ALPR surveillance stops being a niche story for policy wonks and starts sharing airtime with the UNA game, it tells you the unease has gone mainstream in the Shoals area.

We don't have the full rundown of what residents are specifically objecting to here, but the pattern is familiar: communities find out these cameras are logging every passing car, the data is shared more widely than anyone expected, and city councils approved it all with little public input. A 60-second recap segment can't dig into contracts or retention policies, but it does prove the conversation is no longer confined to city hall meeting minutes.

If you're in Alabama and wondering whether there's a Flock camera on your street, check our map to see what's already been logged in your area, and head to take action if you want to push back before your city quietly renews its contract.
