r/FlockSurveillance

Can someone start selling signs to put in the ground next to these explaining what they are or that this thing spies on you? Id buy several to spread awareness. Most people dont even know

Flock Safety's system of public and private cameras, microphones, and drones is being used by Flock sales employees to spy on us and our children in childrens' gymnastics centers, fitness studios, libraries, playgrounds, and private pools.

These cameras record people and children in real time 24/7, and a private vendor stores the data. This vendor has unfettered access to that data, and Flock employees are removing multifactor authentication requirements and audit trails. The system is not being misused - it is being used exactly as intended.

This is an small analysis of the Flock event log 'event-logs_010125_031926' provided through Open Records Request D048397-031926 in Dunwoody Georgia. It combines this info with information received through other Open Records Requests.

This write-up focuses on public data being shared, private data being shared, and unfettered access and searching of this data by Flock employees. Like the 'security assessment' completed by the City, these logs leave more questions than answers.

Dunwoody residents and MJCC members/guests deserve to know how this happened, and what measures will be taken to keep the public safe. Flock Safety continues to lie to the public and the council. It is of my opinion that the risks of this tool: lack of the accountability, auditability, oversight, guardrails, and security far outweigh the benefits.

The city should immediately cancel the contract and conduct a thorough independent audit to assess the damages.

I brought these concerns to the city council on 1/12/26 because of the possibilities of harm to the citizens of Dunwoody. Based on my findings below I believe I was too late.

Only performative action has been taken by the city staff, and the City refuses to answer any questions in writing about how the system is used, what contracts authorize it's AI capabilities, and how our data is being used by a private company.

I believe the only way to protect the citizens is to immediately cancel the Flock contract and shut off their devices. Flock has continued to show it continues to act in bad faith and no where in their business model do the citizen's benefit.

If you have concerns I would recommend that you bring them directly to your city council member and the mayor, you can find their contact information here: https://www.dunwoodyga.gov/government/city-council-mayor

Additionally, if you can, please attend the city council meeting on Monday April 13th at Dunwoody City Hall where there city council will be voting to put more of your data into this system.

If you are in an HOA or private area that has these cameras, I would recommend that you immediately cancel your contract.

I have many more concerns that I have raised publicly but are not detailed here. These range from the fact that our data is being shipped overseas to gig workers to train Flock's AI model, or that Flock is so confident in their ability to not be breached that they removed gross negligence from the latest round of their contract terms.

I have a list of questions that the city has yet to answer in public: https://drive.proton.me/urls/QJVMHTP6CR#yvrtmzal2Y3f

A 24-year-old from Clarkston, Michigan, is now staring down three felony charges after he allegedly took a stand against invasive surveillance by destroying several license plate reader cameras in Waterford.

These cameras track every driver passing by — no warrant, no suspicion, just constant government monitoring.

We’ve launched a GoFundMe to help cover his legal defense because privacy shouldn’t be optional and constant surveillance shouldn’t be the new normal.

Every single dollar goes straight to his legal fund.

What do you think — should these warrantless spy cameras come down, or is destroying them overreach?

If you believe privacy still matters in America, drop a donation, upvote, and comment so this reaches more people who value their freedom. The more we raise, the stronger his defense can be.

Let’s show that standing up for our rights isn’t free — but together we can back those who do.

So this surveillance is a prob, what about a solution other than potentially endangering yourself by physically cutting them down. Since the surveillance requires either human monitoring, or more likely some detection algorithm trying to do feature detection / identification, what about something wearable that messes with those systems? For example, anti-flash photography clothing that some celebs have used, or what about wearing clothing with QR codes that link to something that interferes with the systems? I'm not suggesting anyone do this, purely hypothetical what-if scenario. If you wore a large QR code that linked to some sort of attack vector, the detection algorithm is designed to find out everything about the data it is receiving right? So it would search a QR code, where you could lead to pretty much anything... Hypothetically could this interfere and be successful as a means of peaceful disruption rather than damage of property?

like I needed another reason to not shop there

Hi everyone,

I’m relatively new to this subject as it came across my feed randomly, but since then I’ve seen a lot more of these devices in my area.

I’ve taken the time to get educated on why these are a problem (admittedly, at first I was in the whole “nothing to hide” crowd). The part I’m having trouble wrapping my head around is, why is all the effort only focused on Flock specifically?

Is it because they’re like a leader in the space or something company specific?

From what I’ve gathered, they’re a relatively young company and it’s not like they invented LPR technology, so curious to know why there’s a big focus on them specifically.

Companies like Axon/Motorola and their LPRs are being used widely across the country as well, and I’d imagine they have access to more resources and influence than Flock does since they have a much larger budget.

Can anyone help me understand that part? Overall big fan of the work being done here!
