FLOCK RUN RAMPANT?!
The short version: Banks & Brower ask whether Flock ALPR cameras have gone unchecked, and we think that question deserves a real public answer.
Our Take
Banks & Brower, a legal team better known for personal injury cases, is wading into surveillance territory with "FLOCK RUN RAMPANT?!" — and honestly, we're glad more outside voices are asking the question. When attorneys who deal with the fallout of government overreach start looking sideways at a camera network that scans every plate on the road, it's a sign the conversation has moved past privacy wonks and into the mainstream.
The title alone captures what a lot of residents are feeling: these systems expanded fast, with little public debate, and almost no plain-English accounting of who sees the data, how long it's kept, or who it gets shared with. "Rampant" is a fair word when a single city council vote can blanket a town in networked cameras that feed a searchable, nationwide database.
We don't have the specifics of every claim in this video, but the broader pattern it's pointing at is real and worth watching closely. If you want to see how dense this coverage is where you live, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back at a city council meeting or public records request, our take-action guide can help you get started.
