There are 100,000+ cameras bolted to poles and stoplights across America, photographing your license plate, logging where you were and when, and handing that record to any cop in any state who wants it.

That number comes from DeFlock, a volunteer effort mapping the cameras one by one, and it climbs every week. Nobody really knows the true count. Some estimates run three times higher. A surveillance net too large to count is one no one can rein in, and the not knowing is part of the problem.

A school district in Georgia ran 375 of those searches to figure out where children sleep at night. "Residency verification," the officers typed in the box. They pointed a tool sold to "catch carjackers" at six-year-olds, to check whether a kid lived in the right zip code.

Police in more than 50 departments searched the network to track people at protests, some hunting named activist groups. Immigration agents with no legal access of their own had local cops run searches on their behalf, 4,000 of them in a single year.

The cameras do not care what they are aimed at. A net that catches the carjacker catches the churchgoer, the patient leaving the clinic, the gun owner, the man driving to a meeting he would rather keep quiet. It was built to catch everyone, because a camera cannot tell the guilty from the rest and was never asked to.

The men who sell these cameras know this. They market the carjacker and deliver the dragnet. Every plate. Every dent. Every Tuesday you drove past the same corner at the same hour. Filed, timestamped, and searchable by strangers with badges for as long as they care to keep it, which is forever.

This is what a police state looks like when it arrives.

Why do you tolerate the building of mass surveillance citywide ecosystems? It’s never not been abused.

By unanimous vote tonight, the Berkeley City Council denied “the most radical expansion of surveillance technology” in city history, denying the Flock contract award. The existing Flock ALPR to remain for now, but will be subject of future RFP. People Power came through!

Will Berkeley recognize tonight what the rest of the country has about the danger in doing business with Flock?

🚨 States Now BLOCKING Flock FOIA Requests

Open‑records laws expose ALPR surveillance. Now lawmakers across the country want to shut the records down, with pending bills already in AZ and CT.

'Public safety’ turns into ‘public secrecy’ real quick once the public starts asking questions.
