Hiding from Flock Cameras| #flock #aclu #shorts| ACLU
The short version: The ACLU's short video nails the absurdity of a surveillance dragnet so total that 'hiding from it' sounds like a joke, but it's not.
Our Take
Credit to the ACLU for packing a real argument into a 30-second short: when the punchline is 'move to the woods,' you've basically admitted the technology has no off switch for ordinary people. Flock's ALPR network isn't parked at a few high-crime intersections — it's stitched across entire towns and highways, logging every plate that passes whether or not anyone's suspected of anything. That's the whole problem in one joke.
Vermont's ban gets a shoutout for good reason. It's one of the only places that looked at this technology and said no, rather than negotiating over retention windows and audit logs while the cameras keep multiplying. Most states haven't gotten close to that conversation, which is exactly why local fights over new Flock contracts matter so much right now.
If you want to see how close this dragnet already is to your own driveway, check our camera map, and if you'd rather push back than pack up and head for the treeline, our take-action page has next steps for your city council.
