Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flock camera?

Flock cameras, developed by Flock Safety, are AI-powered Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) used by law enforcement, neighborhoods, and businesses. They record vehicle make, model, color, and unique identifiers like bumper stickers, feeding the data into a nationwide database to help police track stolen cars and solve crimes.

Why oppose flock cameras?

Flock cameras are an expansion of government surveillance that erode privacy and civil liberties. Widespread license plate tracking allows authorities to monitor the movements of law-abiding citizens without individualized suspicion and is nothing less than government overreach. Public safety should be balanced with constitutional protections and limits on government power.
