Tres aclaraciones sobre las cámaras ALPR en PR #caguas #montehiedra #bayamon #deflock
The short version: A Puerto Rico-focused creator pushes back on local misconceptions about ALPR cameras in Caguas, Monte Hiedra, and Bayamón, underscoring that the surveillance debate isn't just a mainland U.S. issue.
Our Take
Credit to Carlos Berríos Polanco for doing what too few outlets do: translating the Flock Safety conversation into a local Puerto Rico context. ALPR coverage tends to center on the mainland, but these camera networks are expanding into municipalities like Caguas, Monte Hiedra, and Bayamón just as fast, often with the same lack of public debate that's plagued rollouts stateside.
'Clarifications' videos like this one matter because misinformation cuts both ways — residents either overestimate what these cameras can do, or they underestimate how routinely the data gets shared, pooled, and queried by agencies with zero local accountability. Getting the facts straight is step one before any community can push back intelligently.
Whether you're in San Juan or Sacramento, the fight looks the same: find out where the cameras are, then find out who's watching the watchers. Check our map to see what's been documented near you, and hit take action if you want to push your local government for transparency.
