Through an analysis of 10 months of nationwide searches on Flock Safety's servers, we discovered that more than 50 federal, state, and local agencies ran hundreds of searches through Flock's national network of surveillance data in connection with protest activity. In some cases, law enforcement specifically targeted known activist groups, demonstrating how mass surveillance technology increasingly threatens our freedom to demonstrate.

    Why aren’t people removing these cameras?

        Maybe it’s just me, but all the links on that page seem to point to a different zine (“Red flags: Before you join that org”) than one about Flock. I tried a few likely URL substitutions but couldn’t find the intended PDF.

        EDIT: Just clicked the publisher username and found it has correct links: https://unsalted.noblogs.org/post/2025/03/27/new-zine-birds-of-a-feather-destroy-a-flock-together/

      It’s vandalism. Some towns even regret having installed them and legally cannot remove them.
