Interview with @kaburbank.bsky.social on the expansion of mass #surveillance, how #Flock has embedded itself in local governments with remarkably little public scrutiny, and why its growth poses a profound threat to democratic freedoms. 📄 www.currentaffairs.org/news/jessica... #deflock #alpr

"While we are not renewing our current agreement with Flock Safety, we are actively exploring alternative ALPR vendors, as this technology has proven to be an effective tool with our layered approach to safety and security in our community" It's Not Over. www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...

"Ultimately, the Oshkosh City Council voted to immediately revoke its approval, thereby setting a record for the shortest time between a city approving and cancelling a Flock contract: one day." The number of lies are becoming hard to keep track of. www.aclu.org/news/privacy...

Not sure how the media missed this, but the feds now offer grants to cities to expand their surveillance. Axon grossly overcharges for everything from ALPRs to drones to VR taser simulation training programs. The taser deal is just a sliver of how much tax revenue is handed to Axon.

Kansas City is preparing to put facial recognition on public buses. Critics warn that once facial recognition becomes normal in public spaces, it rarely stays limited for long. A bus ride shouldn't require an identity check. kansascitydefender.com/technology-a...

A former police officer is speaking out about Flock cameras and ALPRs. Whether you agree or disagree, it's worth asking why more people are starting to raise concerns about mass surveillance. Watch and make up your own mind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1P-...

The ATF has canceled its phone-tracking contract for "Webloc" after lawmakers raised concerns about warrantless tracking using location data. Funny how a surveillance tool is suddenly "not meeting our needs" once people start asking questions. www.wsls.com/tech/2026/06...

A Richmond County deputy has been arrested and fired after he is accused of misusing license plate readers. The sheriff’s office conducted a routine audit of its Flock License Plate Reader (LPR) camera system on June 25. #Surveillance #Privacy #DeFlock www.wrdw.com/2026/06/26/r...

The Mount Vernon City Council voted Wednesday to turn off the city’s Flock Safety cameras. The vote was 4-1, with councilmembers Melissa Beaton and Mary Hudson absent. www.goskagit.com/news/local_n...

Did you know Flock Condor live-video cameras come in more than one configuration? There’s the PTZ version for parks and intersections, and the Bullet version for buildings, streets, and areas needing constant recording. Because apparently “camera on a pole” needed trim levels. deflock.org

“We will self-police this,” Nightingale said. “Anytime you make an inquiry, it has to be documented… so there’s a trail for everything you do.” We all know where this is headed. #Flock #Surveillance #Privacy #AI www.valleybreeze.com/news/lincoln...

"the defendant is facing criminal charges for abusing his power as a Milwaukee Police Officer by utilizing the department's Flock system to track my whereabouts," "This was not a lapse in judgment; it was a continual, repetitive, obsessive behavior." www.wisn.com/article/cour...

Roanoke paused Flock Raven installs after 16 audio devices were placed in locations not approved by City Council. Nothing says “public trust” like installing surveillance tech in the wrong spots and finding out after a citizen complaint. #DeFlock #Surveillance cardinalnews.org/2026/06/24/i...

Flock opponents just won one: no more opioid settlement money going to cameras. That money was supposed to help address an addiction crisis, not buy more roadside surveillance #DeFlock #Privacy #Surveillance #ALPR www.aol.com/articles/flo...

Brendan Keefe continues his reporting into alleged abuses of ALPR systems. When people warn that these databases can be abused, this is what they mean. #Surveillance #Privacy #AI #DeFlock www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2026/06/23/3...

"The Flock drone contract is one of the key reasons Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chair Dave Woodward, D-Royal Oak, is facing a recall effort." www.wxyz.com/news/local-n...

Two more Cherokee County deputies were arrested over suspected misuse of a license plate reader database. That makes three in just over a week. Please stop telling the public “there are safeguards” when the safeguards keep turning into mugshots. #DeFlock #Privacy #Surveillance #ALPR

A Roanoke homeowner says a Flock Raven device showed up on her property without notice, and her address reportedly was not on the city’s approved list. Don't worry. The police sent a email saying "We are working on this." Oh, we bet they are. www.wsls.com/news/local/2...

"What would you think if your city or your PD announced that they were going to start using this technology to try and fingerprint everybody who goes by, all the time, based on the wireless signals that your devices emit?" consumerrights.wiki/w/Leonardo_E... #deflock #leonardo #surveillance #alpr

The news marks an unusual data breach, and shows that sometimes surveillance technology can leak data in unexpected ways. 404 Media previously reported that Flock exposed the live feeds of some of its cameras. www.404media.co/flock-leaked...

The church said God is always watching. Then someone put a DeFlock sign in front of the camera and said, “Great, let’s make sure everyone else knows who’s watching too.” Happy Sunday. Update the map if you spot one. #DeFlock #Privacy #Surveillance #ALPR

Cops in at least ten states have wrongfully arrested innocent people because they relied on faulty facial recognition technology. No one should lose their freedom because an algorithm got it wrong. We’re fighting to hold police departments across the country accountable.

The camera has been watching the neighborhood, so the neighborhood decided to return the favor. Wonder how many people will go "I never even noticed they were there and now I see them everywhere!"

Heading out this weekend? Keep an eye out for ALPRs and AI cameras. Spot one? Check the DeFlock app and add it if it’s missing. Congratulations, your relaxing drive just became unpaid surveillance research. Download the app or visit deflock.org. #DeFlock #Privacy #Surveillance #ALPR

#Flock claims to not sell your data... 🤥 "You do not need to have any Flock cameras to purchase access to their system. They are selling one product here, which is access to other customers’ data who have been put into the nationwide network." #deflock #surveillance #alpr

Don't forget, the national week of action against ALPRs is coming August 16-22! Stay tuned! noalprs.com

A police chief was arrested after investigators alleged he used law enforcement databases, including an ALPR system, for numerous personal searches unrelated to official investigations. Sadly, this isn't the first time a police chief has been caught. www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2026/06/18/m...

Flock cameras track everyone for 30 days. Who’s watching the watchers? | Behind the Investigation Watch Flock’s PR representative stop the interview when asked about Flock employees watching children. 25 min dive into Flock and it's systems. www.atlantanewsfirst.com/video/2026/0...

Forget left or right. This should terrify everyone. NPR reports that DHS plans to give facial recognition technology to local police. Immigration is the justification today. The infrastructure can be used far beyond it tomorrow. www.npr.org/2026/06/18/n...

Peregrine is not another camera company. It builds software that can bring police reports, 911 calls, dispatch records, ALPR scans, video, evidence, and other government data into one searchable platform. 1/5 #DeFlock #Privacy #Surveillance peregrine.io

Congratulations, Fort Collins! Residents spoke up, and the City Council voted to end the Flock contract and remove the cameras. Another community proved that surveillance is not inevitable. #DeFlock #Privacy #Surveillance #ALPR

Fort Collins votes 6-1 to end the use of Flock Cameras.

"Someone planted a 12-foot surveillance pole in your neighborhood overnight. No notice, no permission, no explanation.." #Flock #Raven #Virginia #Privacy www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

"The White County Commission rejected funding for the purchase and continued use of surveillance cameras during its meeting Monday. The board voted to remove just under $48,000 intended for the purchase of Flock Safety license plate readers." theucnow.com/2026/06/15/w...

Just setting the record straight! I can't be sure, but I think everyone involved in Flock's public messaging is over 12 years old.

"Flock says its cameras don’t track people. Its own training videos say otherwise." What is that called again? 🤔 #AI #Surveillance #Privacy #4A www.kswo.com/2026/06/15/f...

Now Meta is reportedly testing facial-recognition technology from a company whose tools are used by law enforcement and the military. The line between consumer gadget and surveillance system is getting very thin. #Privacy #FacialRecognition #Surveillance #DeFlock gizmodo.com/meta-is-test...

Troy’s City Council is moving to rein in emergency powers after the mayor used an emergency declaration to keep Flock cameras funded. When surveillance requires an “emergency” to bypass elected oversight, the problem is bigger than the cameras. #Privacy www.troyrecord.com/2026/06/15/t...

ROC Watch is not just another camera system. It combines facial recognition, gun detection, custom watchlists, visitor management, and license plate recognition in one platform. Multiple forms of surveillance. One screen. t.co/Qkq9KvguUu

The proposed change would drastically shake up how people obtain phone plans in the U.S., and have all sorts of privacy and cybersecurity knock-on effects. www.404media.co/fcc-wants-to...

The sort of data Leonardo says SignalTrace can sweep up includes the RFID tags in key cards and pet microchips; devices with Bluetooth such as wireless headphones, fitness trackers, and mobile phones. www.404media.co/this-company...

“Only authorized users can access it” does not mean it will only be used for authorized purposes. A Cherokee County deputy was arrested and fired after they say she improperly accessed an ALPR database. The safeguard was finding out afterward. #Surveillance #AI www.11alive.com/article/news...

“You will not speak on Flock tonight.” That is what residents were reportedly told when they showed up to oppose surveillance cameras. If residents cannot question public surveillance at a public meeting, that tells you why they were questioning it. #Surveillance #privacy t.co/XredOxO2ui

The “massive national security surveillance state that was built after 9/11 has always been a threat to freedom,” EFF’s Cindy Cohn told @democracynow.org, so FISA Section 702 must be reformed to require warrants to search the data, or must be allowed to expire. www.democracynow.org/2026/6/11/c...
