🚨 Flock has a hidden weakness many don’t know: public records requests.
Activists have successfully forced at least 8 cities to shut down Flock programs, either by exposing unauthorized data access or showing the footage was publicly accessible.
One of the most effective ways to take down Flock cameras? FOIA/PRA requests.
Here’s a template to file one in your city:
To the Custodian of Records:
Pursuant to the (your state here) Public Records Act (your state's public records act code.), I request access to and copies of the following public records relating to the (your local police) Police Department’s surveillance camera network reportedly consisting of more than 2,600 cameras deployed throughout the city.

@Ashley__Murray And absolutely zero of them would be there if they were maskless and had to make their affiliation public.
History is littered with cowards like this.
Some of you are mad today about a citizenship ruling.
While I disagree with you on that, we should all realize this case was NOT about citizenship.
Th *real* question before the courts was:
“Can a President by executive order, change how we interpret and apply a constitutional Amendment, despite its SCOTUS precedent?”
No matter how you feel about this specific case, the answer is obviously “no”
The Executive branch does not, and should not have any subjective authority over the constitution.
If you think Trump can use an EO to change birthright citizenship arguing “historical context”…
…Then you must also conclude that Biden could have used an EO to ban any gun that wasn’t a musket.
Let me remind you all that during the Biden administration, MAGA world spent months insisting Patriot Front was actually a front for federal agents, some kind of false flag operation designed to make the right look bad.
So my question is simple: if that were true, why is this happening now, under Trump, with Kash Patel running the FBI?
A post from Senator Mike Lee in January 2025 that Patriot Front would vanish the moment Patel was confirmed. Funny how that didn’t happen.
The right wing Daily Caller’s editor-in-chief has gone sad that the group is “probably 75% SPLC employees and 25% Feds.”
They can’t even follow their own logic anymore. So is the Daily Caller’s official position that the Trump administration is colluding with the SPLC to have a Nazi group walk trough the nation’s capital as some sort false flag? Curious!
@jimstewartson nah. thats no fun. render them to iran to throw into a volcano. appease some gods so their final act has some redeeming quality for those the rule
