- Will Freeman leads DeFlock, an organization opposing Flock Safety's surveillance cameras, mapping over 80,000 camera locations.
- Flock CEO Garrett Langley apologized for calling DeFlock 'terroristic,' acknowledging valid criticisms and advocating for a balance between safety and privacy.
- Public backlash against Flock grew due to reports of ICE access, a creepy Super Bowl ad with Amazon Ring, and police misusing cameras to stalk women.
- Flock denies working with ICE, retains vehicle data for 30 days (21 days in Washington state), and welcomes privacy regulations.
- Despite vandalism of cameras and activist efforts, Flock's business is growing, with annual revenue reaching $500 million and half from products like drones and AI software.
- DeFlock's apps have 350,000 downloads, and Freeman is suing for records and organizing a National Week of Action Against ALPRs across 102 cities.
