die Massenüberwachung der USA…. #flocksafety #überwachung #politik
The short version: A German creator's short clip on Flock Safety ALPRs shows U.S. mass surveillance is drawing international attention, not just domestic concern.
Our Take
Linus Kerscher's clip, posted in German, is a reminder that Flock Safety's camera network isn't just a local news story anymore — it's becoming a case study abroad for what unchecked automated license plate reader (ALPR) deployment looks like. When creators outside the U.S. are using American Flock cameras as a cautionary tale about surveillance and politics, that's a signal worth paying attention to.
We don't know the specifics Kerscher covers since the description is thin, but the broader point holds regardless of language: thousands of these cameras are quietly logging the movements of ordinary drivers across American towns, often with little public debate before installation. That pattern is exactly why international audiences are starting to notice — it's a uniquely American experiment in normalized tracking infrastructure, and it's spreading fast.
If you want to see how close this network has gotten to your own neighborhood, check our camera map, and if you'd rather not just watch from the sidelines, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back locally.
