Our Flock Fight Made It Onto the News! | 90-Day Business Owner Challenge – Day 32

Our Take

This is exactly the kind of story we love to see: a regular business owner, not a lobbyist or a politician, pushes back on Flock Safety's ALPR network and it actually gets traction. Credit to vonOhlerking for documenting the whole arc in real time as part of a 90-day business challenge series — most people don't bother filming the boring, grinding work of local advocacy, let alone the payoff when a news crew shows up because the story got too loud to ignore.

What matters here isn't just one camera coming down. It's the signal it sends to every city council, every police chief, and every Flock sales rep who assumes nobody's watching the watchers. These systems get installed quietly, often without real public debate, and they stay up because most people never ask questions. One business owner asking the right questions, in public, loud enough that local media picks it up, is a playbook other towns can copy.
