Reminder:
November 24, 2025 - Flock Safety’s CEO Garrett Langley called the privacy and transparency activists who are creating a public database to track the locations of flock cameras at https://deflock.me “terrorists" and said they are "closer to antifa than anything else…", meaning that to be a bad thing apparently.
Flock Safety is a tech-company that's putting up thousands of AI-powered cameras around the USA. From the deflock.me site:
Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car's location, date, and time. They also capture your car's make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points.
These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. These systems are marketed as indispensable tools to fight crime, but they ignore the powerful tools police already have to track criminals, such as cell phone location data, creating a loophole that doesn't require a warrant.
Data from ALPRs has led to wrongful arrests, profiling, and stalking ex-partners by police officers. There's no substantial evidence that ALPRs effectively prevent crime, despite Flock's unethical attempts to prove otherwise.
ALPRs are a serious risk to your privacy and civil liberties. These systems continuously record your movements without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion.
