Kettering University student Josh Tewolde is suing Genesee County after it withheld key records about its Flock camera system, including camera-location maps, audit logs and vehicle-scan records. The county says Flock owns the information. But its own contract says the county owns the data. This case asks a fundamental...

🚨Genesee County uses Flock cameras to capture and search vehicle data. But when Kettering University student Josh Tewolde requested records showing where the cameras are, who accessed the data and whether his vehicle was scanned, the county withheld key information. Its excuse? The records belong to Flock, a private contractor. But the county’s own contract says it owns the data. Josh is suing because government should not be able to hide public surveillance records behind a private company. If the government uses the cameras, the public deserves transparency.

🚨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.”

A city in Oregon was forced to permanently remove its Flock cameras after an audit found that federal agencies had access to the system. The audit revealed that two federal agencies could access the data, including the ability to search the broader network of license plate records for up to six months. Flock cameras are used as a mass surveillance tool under the guise of public safety.

Fury over Flock cameras is growing nationwide as lawmakers raise new questions about just how much these AI-powered systems can see and who can access the data. Sen. Josh Hawley is demanding answers from Flock Safety about its roughly 120,000-camera network, warning that recent allegations of police employees misusing data expose a "woeful lack of safeguards." The scale of the system is drawing scrutiny from both Republicans and Democrats. Flock defends its technology, saying Americans deserve both privacy and safety — but many critics are calling it round-the-clock surveillance. America Reports Jacqui Heinrich Rich Edson

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 cameras. Interestingly, Flock CEO Garrett Langley has also used the misinformation line in an NBC interview. Okaloosa County: Langley emailed the sheriff’s department claiming activists were trying to “weaponize” public-records requests. Yet politicians and Flock’s CEO still can’t figure out why people don’t trust license plate readers.

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

"We didn't have this problem a year ago." Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley says the backlash over his company's cameras is a recent phenomenon that will pass.

A FOIA request revealed that, in just one town, 3rd parties (credit card companies, cell phone companies, alphabet agencies, retailers, foreign governments, etc...) accessed camera data more than 500,000 times in a 9 week period. "Flock Safety could not guarantee that it's not sharing information with federal agencies." No shit. Several municipalities in CT are "turning off" their Flock cameras in response to what one FOIA request revealed. The problem - the towns don't control/own the cameras nor the data they collect so they can't turn them off. They can instruct their employees to not access them but Flock, a private company funded *almost exclusively* (outside of people like Marc Andreessen & his ilk) by taxpayer dollars, owns the devices and the data. Plan accordingly... #rural #CT #police #crime #PoliceState #4thAmendment #14thAmendment #CivilRights #ALPR #cops #stalking #women #windsor #flock #SurveillanceState

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."

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

American says that even on a walk through a seemingly rural path next to a cornfield, there are still Flock cameras that have been setup Flock cameras have expanded beyond license plate readers. They are now being placed in areas such as walking paths, playgrounds and other areas where law enforcement says crime could occur at higher rates This is becoming more and more common, here are just a few confirmed locations this is happening: - Atlanta metro / Brookhaven, Georgia: Flock Condor cameras on the Peachtree Creek Greenway bike path - Austin metro / Pflugerville, Texas: Camera at Moose Park pointed directly at the playground - Denver metro / Douglas County (Larkspur area), Colorado: Camera at the Sandstone Ranch Open Space trailhead and parking area - California including Bay Area reports and other locations such as Bakersfield: Exposed Flock Condor camera feeds showed children on a playground swing set. Additional cameras monitored parking lots and related public areas with people-tracking capability This is the mass surveillance network

New Mexico 2020 Election data & records DELETED, covering up fraud and compromising the audit. Election officials, staff, and Dominion reps deliberately deleted critical election data and records before and during an active New Mexico election audit, constituting obstruction, evidence tampering, and a cover-up of irregularities and fraud. Election data and records were deleted while the audit was underway. The deletions prevented full transparency and proper verification of the election results. This mirrors patterns seen in other states, just like in Arizona's Maricopa County admissions of pre-audit deletions, suggesting a coordinated effort to hide or destroy evidence. The timing of the deletions raises serious questions about intent to obstruct the audit process. The deletion of records and logs happened in multiple states by election officials and Dominion reps. This was no accident, this was a cover up.

FOX: American cities reject Flock cameras due to privacy concerns ----- Glenn does a great job explaining the ins and outs of Flock cameras. He cites that they are unconstitutional, talks about the number of Flock cameras errors and says it is a mass surveillance system. He also asks what would Fauci have done during the lockdowns with Flock cameras? Flock cameras are an upgrade to the governments "lockdown system" and the they will try to use them again for lockdown 2.0. I think Glenn makes a misstep when he says the cameras must be used constitutionally. There is no way to use them constitutionally - they record without a warrant by default. The only way these tools can conform to the constitution is to remove them and not use them. Lastly, FOX repeats the lie that Flock cameras data is deleted in 30 days. Flock contractually obligates clients keep cameras live and recording and has even turned them back on in municipalities that have tried to shut them down. Flock wants the data above all else and that implies they are keeping the data permanently and selling the data illegally.

Last night the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved a contract with Flock Safety for drones to respond to police service calls. There was immense public backlash over this decision, but before the board could hear the public’s grievances, they removed the first public comment period. This only left one public comment at the end AFTER votes had taken place. Commissioner Powell made the motion to remove the public comment and Chair Woodward refused to do a roll call vote to confirm there was a sufficient number of votes for this change. Originally the Flock contract was for a free trial period until December and the county would be charged 2.5 million for two years if they did not opt out. This item received less than three minutes of consideration in committee and the sheriff’s office assured commissioners that the public’s data would be protected. However, that was no where in Flock’s contract. Commissioner Bob Hoffman offered an amendment to the item to only allow for the trial period without an automatic renewal, ensuring the data is owned by Oakland County Sheriff and not Flock, and the drones can only be used for calls for service or officer generated. The amendment was approved and the pilot contract was approved. This resulted in outbursts throughout the meeting and eventually a 3.5 hour public comment period at the end. Residents often spoke of the invasion of privacy, concerns about hacking the Flock system, and fear of constant surveillance. The meeting started 45 minutes late and lasted to almost midnight.
