Maybe you have been hearing the term "Flock Camera" and are still in the dark on the specifics. Here are some concerns:

• Mass Surveillance & "Mission Creep": Critics from organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation argue that linking thousands of cameras into a national network creates a searchable database that can track innocent drivers' daily routines.
• Widespread Data Sharing: Data collected locally is often shared with out-of-state law enforcement agencies. Investigations have revealed that local data is frequently accessed by federal authorities (like ICE) for immigration enforcement, even in designated sanctuary cities.
• Officer Misuse: Public records and audits have shown instances of police officers misusing the system to stalk ex-partners, harass specific targets, or improperly track individuals—including women seeking reproductive healthcare.
• Security Flaws & Vulnerabilities: Security researchers have exposed significant flaws in certain Flock camera devices, noting that physical tampering or basic diagnostic tools could allow unauthorized users to access stored footage or monitor movements.
• Lack of Opt-Out: In communities or neighborhoods where Flock cameras are installed, individuals have no way to opt out of having their vehicle's location and license plate permanently tracked in the database.
• Accuracy and False Hits: Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are not perfect. Misread plates (such as confusing state abbreviations or digits) have led to wrongful traffic stops and individuals being mistakenly jailed.

Let’s protect our sovereignty, privacy, and freedom and that of future generations.
