A civil liberties advocate, Benn Jordan, demonstrated the potential privacy vulnerabilities of Flock Safety’s surveillance technology by using a drone and radio equipment to unmask attendees at a private police convention hosted by the company. Flock argues police can track drivers without warrants, claiming no “reasonable expectation of privacy” on public roads. Jordan, an outspoken critic of Flock, was initially barred from the convention after discovering a data breach in the event app. Undeterred, he used surveillance methods from public spaces to gather information, highlighting the hypocrisy of a company that champions public surveillance while demanding privacy for itself. This incident amplifies concerns about Flock’s central database, which is not subject to Fourth Amendment protections, and its history of misuse by law enforcement, leading numerous cities to terminate contracts and citizens to vandalize the cameras.
