America’s Cameras Are TRACKING You Everywhere ! Here’s How
The short version: Kagan Dunlap's video on Flock Safety's 100,000+ camera network is a solid wake-up call, but the scale is even bigger than most realize.
Our Take
Kagan Dunlap's video puts a number on something we've been shouting about for a while: Flock Safety's camera network has ballooned past 100,000 units, quietly stitching together a nationwide surveillance net disguised as neighborhood crime prevention. Credit to Dunlap for getting this in front of a wider audience — most Americans driving past these black-and-white poles have no idea their plate, location, and travel patterns are being logged and shared, often with zero city council debate.
What videos like this tend to undersell is just how decentralized and unaccountable the whole system is. There's no single federal rule governing who can access this data, how long it's retained, or which agencies — local PD, ICE, a random HOA — end up with a login. That's by design. Flock sells convenience to small-town police departments, and the surveillance infrastructure metastasizes one quiet contract at a time, far from any real public oversight.
If this video got your attention, don't stop at watching — check our camera map to see what's actually been deployed near you, and head to take-action for concrete steps to push back at the local level, where these fights are actually winnable.
