Invasion of the FLOCK Cameras

July 6, 2026 • 19:20

Flock Safety has become the dominant supplier of AI-powered license plate reader (ALPR) cameras to U.S. law enforcement, with over 90,000 units deployed nationwide. This video investigates how Flock’s public claims of privacy protection contradict its actual practices: employees accessing live camera feeds (including gyms and pools), unauthorized third-party data sharing, and audio (“Raven”) and motion-tracking (“Condor”) surveillance devices sold alongside license plate cameras. The investigation reveals Flock data being used by ICE for deportation operations, wrongful arrests from camera misidentification, and legal terms quietly weakened to limit corporate liability. The video closes with resources from the ACLU and EFF for communities looking to push back against surveillance expansion.
