Mass surveillance is government overreach dressed up as security. We're building the movement to end it — legally, politically, and permanently.
Flock Safety sells Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras to police departments, sheriff's offices, and HOAs across the country — logging every vehicle that passes, with no warrant, no suspicion, and no oversight.
Flock cameras don't wait for a crime. They photograph and record every vehicle that drives by — permanently building a database of where you go, when you go there, and how often.
These systems don't operate in isolation. AI-powered networks link agencies across the country, turning local camera installations into a nationwide tracking infrastructure — your movements analyzed, stored, and shared without your knowledge.
Courts have ruled license plates in public carry no expectation of privacy. Flock exploits this loophole to track your every movement without a judge ever signing off — the Fourth Amendment bypassed by geography.
Flock aggressively markets to homeowners associations and private neighborhoods, creating civilian-run surveillance networks that feed data directly to law enforcement — no public vote, no oversight, no accountability.
You can clear your browser history, use a VPN, and delete your apps. You cannot stop a Flock camera from scanning your plate. If you drive on a public road, you are being tracked.
There is no federal law governing how long Flock data can be kept, who can query it, or what it can be used for. Departments set their own policies — and most have none at all.
Always the eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, working or eating, indoors or outdoors, in the bath or in bed — no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.
— George Orwell, 1984
Change doesn't happen from the top down. It happens when enough people refuse to accept the status quo.
Understand what data the government collects, under what legal authority, and what your constitutional rights actually are.
Show up to your local town council meetings. Surveillance infrastructure — cameras, contracts with data brokers, fusion centersGovernment-run intelligence hubs that pool data from ALPR cameras, social media, and other sources — making it searchable across hundreds of law enforcement agencies nationwide.1 — gets approved at the local level. That's where you stop it.
1 Fusion centers are government-run intelligence hubs that pool surveillance data and make it searchable across hundreds of law enforcement agencies nationwide.
Legal challenges win. The EFF, ACLU, and other organizations are fighting in court — and they need resources to keep fighting.
Share this with anyone who still thinks mass surveillance keeps them safe — or who's fed up with the government watching their every move. Build the coalition needed to win.
