Cops Abuse Power: Flock Cams Used To Track Exes & More! #shorts

Our Take

Revenge Of The Cis is working in the format that fits this story best: fast, blunt, and short. The clip leans on a familiar and credible pattern — officers running plates for personal reasons, not public safety — and compares a networked ALPR system to something as blatant as slipping an AirTag onto someone's car. We can't verify the specific claims made in the video, but the comparison lands because it's the right one. An AirTag you can find and rip off the wheel well. A Flock camera on a utility pole logging every car that passes is invisible, permanent, and backed by a government contract.

That's the real difference between Flock Safety's pitch and what actually happens once the system is live. The sales pitch is stolen cars and AMBER Alerts. The reality is a searchable log of where you drive, who you visit, and how often — sitting in a database that any credentialed user can query with minimal oversight. Sheriff Judd and Volusia County keep coming up in these conversations because they're some of the most aggressive deployers in the country, and aggressive deployment without aggressive audit logging is exactly how 'tracking an ex' becomes possible instead of hypothetical.

Credit to the channel for keeping this in front of a short-form audience that might never read a city council agenda.
