A viral video investigation posted by Wall Street Apes — now with over 1.6 million views — has exposed a stunning double standard at Flock Safety, the license plate reader and surveillance camera company quietly blanketing American neighborhoods: the company that built a business on mass surveillance of ordinary citizens wants none of it for itself.
Investigators attempting to visit Flock Safety's business locations were met with a wall of secrecy. At one location, filming was prohibited outright. When Flock relocated its offices, the company instructed the old building's staff not to reveal the new address to anyone who asked. A security guard at the Flock building told investigators he did not consent to being filmed and objected to being "under surveillance" — an objection Flock has never extended to the millions of Americans whose movements its cameras track daily.
The new Flock headquarters, once identified, carried no company signage on the building or its directory. Security refused to confirm the company was even present inside. No filming was permitted. No public access to any floor was allowed.
The contrast is difficult to ignore. Flock Safety sells local governments and law enforcement agencies on wall-to-wall license plate reader networks that log the movements of every vehicle passing by — without consent, without opt-out, and without meaningful public oversight. Yet the company's own leadership operates from a building with no name on the door, instructs neighbors to provide no information about their whereabouts, and employs guards who bristle at the very concept of being observed.
Flock Safety has raised over $1 billion in venture capital, with backing from Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global, and its cameras are now deployed in thousands of jurisdictions across the country. Critics have called the network one of the largest warrantless mass surveillance infrastructures in American history.
The company's apparent comfort with watching everyone else — while aggressively shielding itself from any public scrutiny — has struck a nerve. The video has ignited renewed calls to "DeFlock America" and drawn sharp criticism from civil liberties advocates and ordinary citizens alike.

Flocks all need to be removed one way or the other.
Along with red light/speed camera revenue making machines taking pictures of drivers speeding or running red lights. One of the Constitutional Amendments is that you can confront your accuser in court, but how can you confront a machine and question it's accuracy - how many errors it made in the past, how many times it was worked on/had software replaced due to errors being made, how often is it's accuracy measured/tested, can it be hacked/blocked/corrupted by outside radio transmission signals?
Wouldn't take long for everyone to chip in and put this "venture" into the dustbin of history. The people are sovereign and have rights in the US, the government and it's corporate buddies exist for the good of the people, to protect rights. So there's that...
Suggestion for some enterprising entrepreneur - make an overlay of license plates which defeats the cameras, but still allows human eyes to read the plate within normal distances. Plate is not obscured to human eyes and legal, but cannot be read by AI readers. A holographic reflective decal perhaps?
