- Flock Safety employees, including sales staff, are accessing and viewing live and recorded footage from cameras in locations like gymnastics centers, fitness studios, libraries, playgrounds, schools, and private pools in Dunwoody, Georgia.
- Audit logs reveal that over 1,271 external agencies have been granted permission to view live streams since 2025, contrary to official claims, and private data from places like the Marcus Jewish Community Center has been shared without proper oversight.
- Flock employees have unfettered system access, enabling actions such as disabling multi-factor authentication, manipulating audit trails, and creating unauthorized user accounts, raising serious security and privacy concerns.
- Specific instances of questionable searches by Flock employees include viewing footage of children in gymnastics rooms and pools, with patterns suggesting intentional surveillance rather than legitimate use.
- The system lacks robust audit trails, as logs do not capture the duration of live views or all network activities, undermining accountability and transparency.
- The author calls for immediate cancellation of the Flock contract, an independent audit, and public action to address these privacy violations and security risks.
