Flock Safety Cameras and the Privacy Debate | Bakersfield News

Flock Safety is deploying nearly 100,000 solar-powered license plate cameras across 6,000+ communities in 49 states—collecting detailed car data to help police solve crimes. But critics warn it’s a slippery slope toward mass surveillance with minimal oversight. Born from the founder’s frustration with crime in Atlanta, the tech promises safety but raises serious privacy alarms. While Flock doesn’t publicly list camera locations, a crowd-sourced map by DeFlock tracks them—though unverified. Cities are pushing back, with some banning or restricting these cameras to protect civil liberties. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
