In February 2026, a class action lawsuit highlighted a grave breach of privacy laws by Flock Safety. This company, which operates mass-surveillance camera systems, was accused of violating California privacy laws by granting out-of-state and federal agencies access to California driver data over 1.6 million times within just seven months. This is not just a hypothetical risk; it's a concrete reality that has already unfolded in shocking ways.

A harrowing instance involved Flock Safety's technology leading to false accusations against a black family, resulting in their wrongful detention at gunpoint by police. This incident culminated in a $1.9 million settlement, yet the trauma and distress experienced by that family cannot be quantified in monetary terms. Imagine the lasting impact this could have on you, your friends, or your family, if mistakenly accused of a crime you did not commit.

We must not allow technology, designed to protect, transform into a tool that infringes on our privacy and safety. Pennsylvania is currently on the brink of potentially adopting similar mass-surveillance systems, which could lead to grievous invasions of personal privacy and baseless accusations.

We urge Pennsylvania lawmakers to take a stand against the installation of Flock Safety’s mass-surveillance cameras statewide. Choosing safety and justice should never mean sacrificing our fundamental right to privacy. Statewide prohibition of these surveillance measures is a proactive step towards ensuring our communities remain safe and free from undue surveillance.

Join us in safeguarding the future liberties of Pennsylvania residents. Sign this petition to make your voice heard, and to urge our lawmakers to ban Flock Safety mass-surveillance cameras immediately. Together, we can push for a legislative decision that prioritizes privacy and justice over unwarranted scrutiny.
