Flock Safety KEEP Lying AND Get Caught!
The short version: A creator named Vee Dries accuses Flock Safety of getting caught in misleading claims again, underscoring why independent scrutiny of ALPR vendors matters.
Our Take
Creator Vee Dries is the latest to call out Flock Safety for what they describe as a pattern of misleading statements — and honestly, we're not surprised. When a company's entire business model depends on local governments trusting its pitch about "only catching bad guys" and "not being surveillance," every inconsistency matters. We can't verify every claim in this specific video, but the broader pattern it points to — a surveillance vendor's marketing outpacing its actual practices — is exactly what we've been documenting for months.
This is the core problem with letting a single company blanket the country with license plate cameras before anyone outside city hall asks hard questions. Marketing decks are not audits. Press releases are not transparency reports. If a vendor is caught shading the truth on relatively small claims, it's fair to ask what else isn't getting the scrutiny it deserves — especially around data sharing, retention, and who gets access to your driving history.
Credit to Vee Dries for putting this on the record and keeping the pressure on. If you want to see whether these cameras have shown up on your streets, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back locally, our take-action page has steps that actually move the needle.
