Stop Flock

8 hours ago

Flock Safety's AI surveillance technology goes beyond license plate reading to create detailed 'Vehicle Fingerprints' based on color, make, model, dents, bumper stickers, and other features, enabling tracking without plates.
The system includes 'Convoy Analysis' to detect associations between vehicles and flag patterns, with data accessible to law enforcement nationwide without warrants, raising Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns.
Over 100,000 Flock cameras are deployed across the U.S., used by more than 3,000 agencies, often without public oversight, and have been misused, such as in cases of stalking by officials.
Flock collaborates with private entities like HOAs and businesses to expand surveillance networks, blurring lines between public safety and corporate profit, while lacking evidence that such systems reduce crime.
Mass surveillance trends extend beyond Flock, including military internet monitoring, Palantir's federal data consolidation, and drone deployments, threatening civil liberties and enabling biased enforcement.
