Flock Safety Cameras: Tracking You? #shorts

STS Technologies LLC · 2 weeks ago

The short version: A quick STS Technologies short spotlights how Flock Safety cameras scan and log plates, reminding viewers that 'awareness' is the first step to pushback.

Our Take

Credit where it's due: STS Technologies LLC keeps these shorts tight and visual, boiling down a sprawling surveillance network into a 60-second gut check — your plate gets photographed, timestamped, and stored, often without your city council ever holding a real public debate about it. That's the core problem with Flock's rollout nationwide: the cameras show up fast, the data-sharing agreements are murky, and most drivers have no idea they're being logged block by block.

We're not going to pretend a single short video changes the legal landscape, and yes, the channel is also selling awareness merch tied to Flock's branding — that's their business model, not ours. But the underlying point stands: this is infrastructure built to track ordinary people's movement patterns, and it's expanding into neighborhoods with zero meaningful oversight. That's exactly why we built a public, crowdsourced map of where these cameras actually are.

If this clip got you wondering what's watching your own street, go check the map and see what's already been logged near you, then head to take action for concrete steps — public records requests, city council scripts, and organizing tips — to push back before the network grows any bigger.
