Flock Cameras, Go 'Flock' Yourself

Flock Cameras, Go 'Flock' Yourself
We are building an East Berlin-Style, Surveillance State in America, one camera at a time, and your city council is paying for it with YOUR money.
🐺THE WISE WOLF AND THE EMPATHIC REVOLUTIONARY JUL 17, 2026
https://www.thewisewolf.club/p/flock-cameras-go-flock-yourself

Quote:
It’s February in the Florida Keys and a Monroe County sheriff’s deputy named Lamar Roman is doing 70 on a two-lane bridge highway, passing a dump truck in a no-passing zone, then another, then swinging clear across the double yellow so a white pickup has to yank itself off the road to keep a family from dying on US 1. Lights on. Sirens on. Somewhere ahead is the fugitive he’s burning county gas to catch.

A 27-year-old actress he wanted to sleep with…

That’s the emergency?
He’d met her weeks earlier working security on the set of Bad Monkey, the Vince Vaughn show. She got off the extras bus, he whistled at her, and he kept circling all day until other extras were physically pulling her away from him. She said she had a boyfriend. His answer, preserved in his own arrest report, was “I need your name and number just in case I pull you over some day.”

She took it as a creepy joke. It was a project plan. He put her car on a camera watch list, and when the network spotted her weeks later, he nearly killed a truckload of strangers to run her down, pulled her over for nothing, and asked why she hadn’t followed him back on Instagram. “I told you I’d find you and pull you over.” Never logged the stop. He knew it was worth hiding.

Now here’s where you expect me to say the system failed. The system did not fail. Cameras photographed her car, a database served up her location, and a man with power used it on someone who couldn’t say no. That IS the system. Everything else is the sales brochure.

The network is called Flock, and it photographed you this week. So before we go one step further, you deserve to know exactly how big the thing that’s watching you actually is.

NSA Whistleblower Reveals Americans Are RIGHT NOW Under Mass Surveillance

NSA Whistleblower Thomas Drake Warns: Mass Surveillance of Americans Persists and Evolves

In a July 2026 interview on the independent platform Redacted, longtime NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake delivered a sobering message: the infrastructure for mass surveillance of Americans, built in the aftermath of 9/11, has not been dismantled. It has adapted, decentralized, and embedded itself into everyday technology — from networks of AI-powered license plate readers to data broker ecosystems and algorithmic analysis. Drake, who raised internal alarms about post-9/11 warrantless programs and paid a heavy personal price, argued that the result is a creeping “privacide” that chills speech, maps associations, and risks turning the tools of security into instruments of control.

Boulder Residents Sue Police Over Flock Camera Surveillance, Alleging Unconstitutional Mass Tracking

Quote:
BOULDER, Colo. — Two Boulder residents have filed a class-action lawsuit against the Boulder Police Department, claiming the city’s network of 31 Flock Safety automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras amounts to illegal, warrantless mass surveillance that violates privacy protections under the Colorado Constitution.

The lawsuit, filed in Boulder District Court on May 27, 2026, seeks to block the police department’s use of the cameras, declare the program unconstitutional, and force the release of records detailing the data collected. It is being described as a first-of-its-kind legal challenge of its kind in Colorado.

C'mon. You didn't really think all those Data Centers were being built just to match you up with targeted ads, did you? Maybe handle social media posts?

Naaaah.

It's coming. Just think what the Gestapo or the NKVD could have done with that kind of data sorting power, and AI to do the profiling.

Yep. I agree with what you said.

Now reconcile it with ECHELON, CARNIVORE, and the massive data center built in Utah. That's been years ago.

Sadly, our rights are routinely violated.

Local police departments and cities are the main customers. They pay roughly $2,000–$3,500 per camera per year (plus a one-time ~$250–$350 install fee). Our own government is the root of this problem; we're becoming a surveilled police state.

In Light of Overwhelming Backlash, Flock Cancels Creepy Audio Surveillance Feature
"After careful consideration and community consultation, we decided to remove the feature."
By Joe Wilkins Published Jul 19, 2026 9:00 AM EDT
https://futurism.com/future-society/flock-surveillance-backlash-audio-distress-screaming-police

Quote:
Amidst immense pressure from the public, the company is starting to back down on its quest to create a law enforcement-led surveillance state. On Friday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation announced that Flock was officially ending its “human distress detection” pilot program, an always-on audio surveillance tool that monitored public places for sounds of “screaming.”

“This feature was designed to help identify potential violent incidents in areas where other public safety tools were less effective,” Flock explained in a recent blog post. “The feature was only available to a small number of customers as part of a limited trial, and was never broadly released. After careful consideration and community consultation, we decided to remove the feature.”

On top of the obvious privacy concerns that come with a high-powered audio surveillance device, the feature raised major questions around civil liberties, given that law enforcement could use the program as a pretense to swarm any community on a whim.

“The Worst Threat to Freedom” (Flock Surveillance Cameras)
https://generaldispatch.whatfinger.com/the-worst-threat-to-freedom-flock-surveillance-cameras-awaken-with-jp/

Quote:
Hey, fellow patriots! If you love freedom, the Constitution, and being left alone by Big Government, you need to hear this. Comedian and freedom fighter JP from Awaken with JP just dropped a must-watch video (above) calling out Flock Safety cameras as one of the biggest dangers to our liberties right now. These things are popping up everywhere, quietly building a massive surveillance network that tracks every car on the road. Americans are fighting back by taking them down—and the company’s CEO is crying “terrorism” about it. That should tell you everything. If Trump is not successful in stopping voter fraud before November, the Democrats are set to steal both houses and impeach him, then steal the White House in 2028. Tyranny will be here in America, and these camera’s will be the instruments used to watch your every move, and ban you from eating, buying food, going in public, if you dare question Marxism, DEI, Trans policies, open borders, etc. This is our future if Trump does not stop voter fraud.

They’re taking surveillance to the next level. They’re now deploying AI cameras on garbage trucks that will drive through every street, scanning homes, roofs, windows, and more. No more fixed poles you can tear down. These cameras move with the trucks with eyes on every block, every house, every day. They’re already testing software that can detect “bad roofs,” broken windows, construction materials, and more… all while claiming it’s for “public safety.” And when people push back against mass surveillance systems like Flock? Flock sends cease and desist letters threatening legal action. How much more of our privacy are we going to surrender before we finally push back against this surveillance grid?

These sell firearms, but pay very close attention to where the camera is pointed. Right at the door. This isn’t tracking license plates, it’s literally installed and pointed directly at the door of the sporting store to capture who’s going in and out Almost like it’s mass surveillance and could be tracking people purchasing firearms or into these hunting activities

Remember folks, Democrats, if allowed to steal both houses in November thanks to RINO low lifes like Thune in the Senate, The Dems will be using these cameras against us all.

Surveillance is not Safety.

9 Officers just got arrested/fired for abusing Flock surveillance to stalk people

9 Officers just got arrested/fired for abusing Flock surveillance to stalk people...again! This makes it 21 cases of abuse so far that we're aware of.

This is exactly why mass surveillance is dangerous.

It’s not just “a few bad apples.” One person with access and a grudge can turn your every move into their personal playground - exes, coworkers, neighbors, whoever.

Your 4th Amendment rights are being shredded while you’re just trying to live your life.

Nobody consented to being tracked 24/7 just for existing.

And when the machines get it wrong? False positives can destroy lives! The FBI will be at your door at 4AM, guns drawn screaming at you to 'get on your knees!'

FLOCK's Animal Farm - Atlanta Company Surveils Country Without Informed Consent, Then Blocks Filming Its People Or Headquarters
BY L TODD WOOD JULY 21, 2026
https://www.georgiarecord.com/business-ga/2026/07/21/flocks-animal-farm-atlanta-company-surveils-country-without-informed-consent-then-blocks-filming-its-people-or-headquarters/

Quote:

A viral video investigation posted by Wall Street Apes — now with over 1.6 million views — has exposed a stunning double standard at Flock Safety, the license plate reader and surveillance camera company quietly blanketing American neighborhoods: the company that built a business on mass surveillance of ordinary citizens wants none of it for itself.

Investigators attempting to visit Flock Safety's business locations were met with a wall of secrecy. At one location, filming was prohibited outright. When Flock relocated its offices, the company instructed the old building's staff not to reveal the new address to anyone who asked. A security guard at the Flock building told investigators he did not consent to being filmed and objected to being "under surveillance" — an objection Flock has never extended to the millions of Americans whose movements its cameras track daily.

The new Flock headquarters, once identified, carried no company signage on the building or its directory. Security refused to confirm the company was even present inside. No filming was permitted. No public access to any floor was allowed.

The contrast is difficult to ignore. Flock Safety sells local governments and law enforcement agencies on wall-to-wall license plate reader networks that log the movements of every vehicle passing by — without consent, without opt-out, and without meaningful public oversight. Yet the company's own leadership operates from a building with no name on the door, instructs neighbors to provide no information about their whereabouts, and employs guards who bristle at the very concept of being observed.

Flock Safety has raised over $1 billion in venture capital, with backing from Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global, and its cameras are now deployed in thousands of jurisdictions across the country. Critics have called the network one of the largest warrantless mass surveillance infrastructures in American history.

The company's apparent comfort with watching everyone else — while aggressively shielding itself from any public scrutiny — has struck a nerve. The video has ignited renewed calls to "DeFlock America" and drawn sharp criticism from civil liberties advocates and ordinary citizens alike.
