Standing AGAINST Flock Part 2 and their lies.#FLOCK #camera #viking #genx #cop

Our Take

Jason Followell is back with part two of his series taking aim at Flock Safety, and whatever the specific claims he's unpacking this time, the bigger story is the one playing out across the country: ordinary people are refusing to just accept the company line about what these cameras do, who sees the data, and why a private surveillance vendor should have this much reach into public streets. When residents start fact-checking a billion-dollar ALPR company on their own time, that's a sign trust has already broken down.

We can't verify every claim in a video we haven't independently reported ourselves, but we don't need to co-sign every detail to appreciate the instinct behind it. Flock has built a business model on rapid expansion and friendly police-department press releases, and that leaves little room for the harder questions about retention windows, data sharing with federal agencies, or what happens when the system misfires and flags the wrong car. Creators like Followell pushing back publicly help keep those questions in front of people who'd otherwise never think twice about the black box on the pole at the end of their street.
