Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras

The report covers a wave of community-led actions—including cutting down, spray-painting, and otherwise destroying Flock license-plate reader cameras—across the United States in response to concerns that the company’s nationwide surveillance network is being used, directly or indirectly, by immigration authorities such as ICE. It notes local government debates over Flock contracts, instances of departments blocking federal access, and civic mapping projects that estimate roughly 80,000 license-plate readers nationwide.
