I’ll soon be sponsoring a bill to withhold federal money from municipalities and police departments that deploy Flock (and other style) cameras to surveil law abiding citizens.
Flock cameras turn every street into a permanent police checkpoint with no warrant, no probable cause, and no opt-out. They call it “public safety.” What it actually is: the surveillance state expanding because it can, while you pay for the privilege of being tracked every time you leave the house. Trade-offs exist. This one sucks.
🇺🇸 Hypocrisy level: MAXIMUM
Flock Safety, the company flooding America with license plate cameras and mass surveillance, is now demanding total privacy for itself.
A new video shows “No filming” signs at their facility, the ex-landlord was told to hide their new location, and security guard refusing to be filmed: “I don’t consent to surveillance”
Meanwhile, they track your every drive with cameras everywhere.
They want to watch you, but you’re not allowed to watch them. Classic.

🚨 Security researcher Ben Jordan reveals that Flock cameras are secretly creating a GPS tracker for every car in America, and it’s already live
This is extremely concerning
“Flock license plate readers take a timestamped photo of every vehicle that passes every camera. Police can search your historical travel information for 30 days. This creates a searchable database of everyone, not just the suspects of crime — It's like if you were to build a graph of that sheet and plot it to a map, now it's as if you've had a GPS on your car for an entire month”
“In order for that historical data to be of investigative value, you have to track every car”
Flocks own training videos say they aren’t just tracking license plates, they’re tracking people
“But Flock's own webinars talk about its license plate reader's ability to track vehicles and people”
Directly from the investigation:
But the company’s own training videos show police using the system to track suspects “from location to location to location.”
And some of its cameras are designed to follow people as they walk.
“And they quite literally use AI to zoom in and follow you around whether you’re a person of interest or not,”
We need to ban Flock nationwide, this is the surveillance state being established
