Florida’s surveillance problem keeps getting harder to explain. Oviedo: fake Flock cameras were installed without the mayor knowing. Pasco: a commissioner admitted she hadn’t read the license-plate-reader contract, then defended it against concerns about warrantless mass surveillance. Manatee County: the sheriff said there’s “a lot of misinformation” surrounding Flock... show more

The timing is curious. The murder of the insurance CEO. The unfortunate support of many people in social media. The insurance response--instead of attempting to repair relations/restore American trust, they double down and become more draconian and fascist with Flock.🤔

Maybe the mayor needs to be a hell of a lot more engaged with what her own police department is actually doing. And while we’re at it, maybe this state could use some real executive oversight of county sheriffs too.

Genesee County uses Flock automated license plate reader cameras, but it refused to release key records about the system—including camera locations, audit logs and vehicle-scan records. The county claims Flock, a private contractor, owns the information. But the county’s own contract says Genesee County owns the data. Kettering University student Josh Tewolde is suing to enforce Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act. The case raises a straightforward question: Can government avoid transparency laws by routing public surveillance through a private vendor?

Tucker Carlson says that Flock Safety Cameras aren’t about safety, they’re about mass surveillance “The promise is that if you give up your privacy, your right to kind of walk around without having your face analyzed and sent to headquarters somewhere in this or another country, you would in exchange get what? Safety. The problem is it hasn't worked that way. Harris County, Texas has over 3,000 license plate readers. You would think it would be the safest place in the United States, but weirdly, Harris County, Texas had over 500 murders in 2025. How is it that we increase the surveillance past what 1984 describes, and we still have 500 murders in one U.S. county” The data backs this up Advocacy groups such as the Texas Civil Rights Project have identified that there are nearly 3,800 Flock cameras in the surrounding greater Houston area The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has reported access to around 480 of these cameras Yet the murder rate is extremely high Harris County recorded about 503 homicides in 2024 We need to get rid of Flock cameras while we still can, this is about mass surveillance

San Jose, California residents file a lawsuit against the city for their deployment of Flock license plate reading cameras The people behind this lawsuit say the city has violated the Fourth Amendment by conducting surveillance without a warrant “Drivers have filed a class action suit against San Jose and its police department over the deployment of nearly 500 cameras, including by Flock safety” In California Flock camera data has been shared with the federal government as well as nonprofits (which is insane) Activists also say they are being used to track illegals in San Jose. So I guess this is one benefit

Police officers were accused in dozens of cases of improperly using access to Flock’s license plate camera network — in some instances, to allegedly stalk civilians, including their ex-wives and girlfriends — according to a Washington Post report. Flock’s network includes more than 120,000 cameras nationwide, used by more than 6,000 law enforcement agencies. In his first network TV interview, Flock CEO Garrett Langley told CBS News’ Anna Schecter about the new safety measures the company is implementing amid these claims: “We listen and we learn. And we'll continue to move forward.”

🚨 Flock safety cameras are expanding to surveillance drones “Flock just got wings — The same company behind the cameras are now putting autonomous surveillance drones in the sky” “Now the company's automated license plate readers have spread across the country, creating one of the nation's largest interconnected video surveillance networks. After partnering with aviation software company Aerodrome, Flock launched Flock Alpha, an autonomous police drone built to respond to emergencies before officers even arrive. The drone sits inside a waterproof docking station waiting for a call, and when a 911 report comes in, the drone can launch automatically and fly up to 60 miles per hour. Officers don't even have to be standing nearby — And this thing isn't just flying overhead. It's got thermal imaging, high-definition cameras, and powerful optical zoom. And while according to Flock, It can even read a vehicle's license plate from 2,000 feet away. That's not terrifying at all….” These drones are being marketed specifically as a “Drone as First Responder” used to respond to emergency calls But that’s not really all they’re being used for. I’ve shared a video of leaked San Francisco footage of flock drones that are very clearly just roaming around looking for crimes, in other words mass surveillance This is the surveillance state

Flock cameras have been out up in the Richland Wildlife Management Area in Florida The location of the flock cameras are in “miles and miles of Florida wilderness with no neighborhoods or shopping centers, subdivisions or traffic lights around — Why are there surveillance cameras here? Why are there license plate readers sitting at the crossroads of a wildlife management area? Who are they watching? The hunters? People exercising their Second Amendment rights? Families going camping? Fishermen headed to a boat ramp? Because it isn't just here” “But here's the question that no one seems willing to ask: How much surveillance are we willing to accept? For decades, law enforcement investigated crimes without building massive networks of cameras that record the movements of millions of law-abiding Americans” I have ferried these cameras are indeed there, and there is literally nothing around the area They were installed by the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office which has also deployed dozens of Flock cameras across the county. From what I can find, over 40 installed on county roads Law enforcement says there are here for - Recovering stolen vehicles - Tracking suspects - Solving crimes in these rural areas - General public safety They look like unnecessary surveillance. There is literally nothing around here I have included a video that shows just how far these cameras really are from society, it’s shocking

THE SURVEILLANCE STATE IS HERE, AND IT’S BEING SOLD AS “SAFETY” The surveillance state is no longer a distant dystopia. It is here, marketed as public safety. The argument is always the same: “If you have nothing to hide, why worry?” But privacy is not reserved for people hiding something. It is a fundamental right in a free society, protected precisely because unchecked government surveillance is dangerous. Will Freeman, founder of DeFlock, is challenging Flock Safety’s expanding camera network. The fight surrounding Freeman, Flock CEO Garrett Langley, and the lawsuit known as Langley v. Freeman exposes the deeper issue: once surveillance infrastructure is built, who decides how it will be used, and where does it stop? Flock cameras are only one piece. Palantir’s technology can fuse satellite imagery, radar, cameras, sensors, and other data into a real-time operational picture. On a battlefield, that means tracking targets and building strike packages. But what happens when that same logic- identify, track, fuse, predict, act is turned on the public? Flock cameras. Facial recognition. License plate readers. Satellites. Data fusion. When those systems connect, they do not simply monitor cars. They create a map of human movement, and the architecture of a surveillance prison. Maria Zeee (ZeeeMediaOfficial) joins me to break down the dystopian world these technologies are attempting to build.

Please see this video and press release regarding Flock cameras in Knox County. Video transcript: Hello, this is Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs. Today, I am urging our Commission to prohibit the use of Flock cameras and similar devices in our County. For those of you who don't know, these cameras, technically called Automated License Plate Readers, are motion activated and take a picture of every car which passes by. While License Plate Readers have been around for a while, because of AI and vastly increased networking and data retention capacities, these Flock cameras have capabilities not even imagined in the past. Older cameras only took a photo of your license plate, which was then retained for a short time. Flock cameras take a photo of your place, but also use AI to catalogue distinguishing features of your vehicle: make, color, model, even bumper stickers. That data is stored in a searchable database for sometimes up to a month or more, depending on the policies of that particular agency. When these cameras are deployed in large numbers, they create a network that can be used to track your movements. Currently, there is no federal regulatory framework governing these devices in place, and the Tennessee laws regulating them were written over a decade ago. My fear is that may be inadvertantly creating a warrantless mass surveillance system and undermining the privacy and Liberty of our people. So I urge the Tennessee General Assembly and the United States Congress to look at this issue and take neccessary action to safeguard our privacy and civil liberties as these new technologies continue to emerge. Thank you.

They didn’t need a warrant. They didn’t need a crime. They just needed a login. Ed Drantch Cheektowaga PD just suspended 3 dispatchers after an audit found they used Flock license-plate cameras to track a coworker’s car for months — without that person knowing. This is the system sold as “public safety.” 30 cameras. Hundreds of thousands of plates a month. And the first confirmed target wasn’t a suspect. It was one of their own. If they do it to a colleague, they’ll do it to you…and probably way worse. It’s time to regulate flock cameras and support Tim Burchett Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act (H.R. 9800).

🚨WOW!!!!!! A Texas constable has unplugged every single Flock camera in his county. "I don’t believe “safety” should be a word that automatically ends the discussion whenever individual liberty is involved." "Flock, come get your GARBAGE out of my county..." County commissioners in Hood County voted unanimously in April to end its contract with Flock, which included three cameras, and the constable finished the job of shutting down the Flock cameras by unplugging them and covering them with a hood. The constable further wrote: "When government has the ability to collect, search and share information about the movements of people who aren’t suspected of committing a crime, I believe that raises serious Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns. The answer can’t simply be, “Trust us. We won’t misuse it.”

🚨 BLACKROCK IS QUIETLY TURNING STREET LIGHTS INTO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS While everyone was focused on tearing down Flock cameras, a much bigger player was already rolling out the replacement. Axon, one of the hottest companies in the surveillance market, is now partnering to turn regular street lights into smart cameras. No new poles needed. They just convert the lights you already drive under every day into: • License plate readers • Live streaming cameras • AI that recognizes vehicle make, model, color, damage, bumper stickers, and more Counties are canceling Flock contracts and spending tens of millions on Axon systems instead. Here’s the part most people don’t know: About 25% of Axon is owned by BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. The same firms that have openly talked about “forcing behaviors.” Axon’s CEO has said their goal is to build a society where crime “just doesn’t make sense anymore” through constant monitoring. He also made $164 million in a single year. While people were busy removing Flock cameras, this more advanced, harder-to-detect system was already being installed in plain sight. Street lights → cameras. BlackRock ownership. AI vehicle tracking. Stealth rollout. Is this just “public safety”… or the next phase of the surveillance grid?

This is an incredible video from Polk County (FL) Sheriff Grady Judd on Flock cameras. It's long but it's a must-watch. "The license plate readers, known as 'Flock,' is the single best tool to keep people safe and to find those that have run away from or driven away because of Alzheimer's or dementia." "We don't need to do away with the best tool to keep you safe. But what we need is the guardrails that the professional agencies have to include us inculcated in state law. Not just about the license plate readers known as flock, not just about the toll cameras, not just about the red light cameras, not just about the speed cameras in the school zones, not just about the cameras on the school buses, but all of the technology. We need to have robust rules that ensure your privacy, ensure an auditing process, and ensure an accountability process." "There are those that are concerned, 'Well, they know where I'm going.' Well, let's make sure we have this all put together. There are license plate readers that read your tag number when you're on the toll road. It knows where you're going. There's red light cameras that read your tag number. They know where you're going. There's school speed cameras that read your tag number. They know where you're going." "The body cameras record your face. The body cameras comes into your private business. But not one word about them. And they invade your privacy every day and every time there's a police officer there. Not one word about the cameras on the patrol cars that also have license plate readers." "There's cameras on school buses that read your tag number when you stopped past school buses. They know where you're going. So the bottom line is we've picked out flock, this one series of cameras that's the least invasive of all of them." "I'm never going to apologize for saving lives and solving crime."

Well, let's make sure we have this all put together. There are license plate readers that read your tag number when you're on the toll road. It knows where you're going. There's red light cameras that read your tag number. They know where you're going. There's school speed cameras that read your tag number. They know where you're going." "The body cameras record your face. The body cameras comes into your private business. But not one word about them. And they invade your privacy every day and every time there's a police officer there. Not one word about the cameras on the patrol cars that also have license plate readers." "There's cameras on school buses that read your tag number when you stopped past school buses. They know where you're going. So the bottom line is we've picked out flock, this one series of cameras that's the least invasive of all of them." "I'm never going to apologize for saving lives and solving crime."

WOW 🚨 Records requests show The city of Fullerton, California secretly approved Flock Cameras without a single public hearing or notice to the public, they approved it under a separate project name - The city signed a contract with Glassbox Digital - A calendar item for a contract with Glassbox Digital appeared on the agenda, it did not mention Flock - The details of that item involved an agenda item ‘Peregrine Services’ - Peregrine offered a Fullerton crimes data center that would integrate data from body-worn cameras, automatic license plate readers, utility systems and Flock Safety cameras - The item passed unanimously on the consent calendar with no discussion, no questions - This authorized Flock under a 5 year contract for $750,000 - The police chief then authorized Flock a 5 year term that auto renews every 2 years without a single vote or any public input This is how they secretly approved flock cameras without ever notifying the public or allowing a single question to be asked…. “That's how it got here. We got Flock because council rubber-stamped a consent calendar item that was never talked about with the public, that never mentioned Flock to the public, that never brought up any details with the public” “I'd actually like to point out Mrs. Charles over here because I find it laughable that you would go to No Kings protest to fight against tyranny and rubber-stamp the surveillance state of our citizenry without asking a single question about how the data is held, who it's given to, who has access to it, who does and does not weaponize it. Because there's an old Soviet proverb that says, "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime." And that's why these systems are being built. So shame on the council at the time and shame on everybody who pretends to care about our rights who did nothing about it” The Fullerton police department claims there are only 19 flock cameras but independent organizations claim the number is much higher, they believe the real number is closer to 52 flock cameras

THE QUIET RISE OF AMERICA’S AI SURVEILLANCE NETWORK Flock Safety “license plate readers” are quietly building an AI-powered surveillance grid that logs where millions of ordinary Americans drive, work, worship, and live every day. Police across the country have already been caught abusing these systems to stalk and harass people, and even the LAPD has now let its Flock contract expire over civil liberties and privacy concerns. In Cleveland, elected officials voted down a renewed Flock contract, yet the cameras stayed on, and police kept using them anyway, raising serious questions about who actually controls this and who owns the data it collects. Flock’s Nova platform is designed to fuse license plate data with other records into a Google-style “people search” for law enforcement, making it easier than ever to build detailed profiles of ordinary citizens. This isn’t a hypothetical future. It’s already here and expanding. The real question now isn’t whether these systems can help solve crimes; it’s whether we’re sleepwalking into a permanent AI surveillance state where every drive, visit, protest, clinic stop, or church service is logged, stored, and ready to be used against us the moment someone in power decides we’re a problem.

Pinal County Sheriff Ross Teeple announced Wednesday his department will not renew its contract with automated license plate reader vendor Flock Safety, letting the deal lapse at the end of September over Fourth Amendment privacy concerns. "The only way to stop this mass surveillance system, and the government’s involvement in it, is to stop our cities from signing away our rights through these contracts," said Nathan Taylortaft, co-director of East Valley Unite, the organization spearheading the campaign against ALPRs in Chandler. "Proponents of Flock will argue that we are on the side of crime, but it’s the opposite. Crime is being committed through Flock’s system, and we want that system ended through city ordinances, and laws protecting our privacy."

The Mayor of Mississauga refused to answer questions on AI mass surveillance. Said “today is a happy day.” Mississauga quietly rolled out a network of license plate reading cameras across the city. What they tell you: the cameras are only for catching criminals. What they won't confirm: that your data stays in Canada, isn't shared, isn't kept forever, and isn't used for anything else. Basic questions. She gave zero answers. These same “Flock systems” are now in front of US Senate hearings over mass surveillance. Ours arrived with no debate at all.

🚨 FLOCK CEO SAYS AMERICANS ARE LIKE CHILDREN — AND NEED AN “ALL-SEEING EYE” TO KEEP THEM IN LINE The CEO of Flock just said the quiet part out loud. He compared American adults to five-year-old kids who only stop misbehaving when they realize their parents have “all-seeing eyes.” According to him, punishment doesn’t matter. What works is the constant knowledge that you’re being watched. He framed mass surveillance as the solution to crime, treating free citizens like children who need to be monitored around the clock so they “don’t do bad things.” This is the same company blanketing neighborhoods, streets, and even secluded walking trails with AI cameras and license plate readers. They’re not hiding it anymore. An “all-seeing eye.” Citizens treated like children. Cameras going up everywhere. Is this about public safety… or conditioning an entire population to accept permanent surveillance?

🚨 THE CEO OF FLOCK JUST SAID THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD — AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING IT Remember when Flock cameras were only supposed to read license plates? Apparently that's not enough anymore. Now we're talking about AI that can find a vehicle from a simple description. Microphones that are always listening for so called "sounds of distress." Drones that can be launched automatically after a 911 call. And camera networks that can follow movement across entire cities. Every year the cameras get smarter. The databases get bigger. The AI gets more powerful. And the amount of information being collected keeps growing. Then came the comment that really got people's attention. The CEO behind Flock, one of the largest camera networks in America reportedly compared people who map camera locations to terrorists. Think about that for a second. The cameras aren't the problem. The people tracking the cameras are. Some people see a tool that makes communities safer. Others see a system that knows where you've been, where you are, and eventually where you're likely to go next. If mapping Flock cameras makes you a "terrorist," what does that make the people putting cameras everywhere?
