Didn't the Flock CEO just admit (seemingly by mistake) that's these cameras aren't just license plate readers?

Who cares what the CEO did or didn't say he'll say whatever gets these cameras up around the world. We all know what this is. Halloween is the perfect time to cut them all down. Whoever thought of this is a hero

This was in response to the article which states that the cameras are license plate readers and conveniently omits that they can and have been used to track people on foot.

They've been saying they both are and aren't for months now.

I'm seeing some very different looking cameras just in this article. Are they all flock cameras?

Does anyone have a link to a guide that has photos and model numbers of all flock cameras, so we can clearly identify them?

the viral Halloween campaign is pushing the backlash into far more extreme territory

Wut. No.

Extreme is building a network of hundreds of thousands of cameras that are used to lock a woman in a cage for traveling to exercise her abortion rights.

Extreme is cops using taxpayer dollars to deploy a network of hundreds of thousands of cameras that they then use to stalk women they want to abuse.

Extreme is building a network of hundreds of thousands of cameras and processing its data with AI systems that have false-positives of plate recognition, leading heavily armed police to attack innocent drivers.

Extreme is leaving these cameras up. Taking them down is a return to normalcy.

Or your car!

Guy who was arrested and is facing criminal charges over destroying a Flock multiple Flocks was caught because of other traffic surveilance cameras. He didn't let his targeted Flock see his vehicle. But other cameras did.

Try typing it in. Deflock.org

Link works for me on multiple devices and networks. Maybe you're being blocked. Got access to a VPN?

Ignore them, they’ve turned off JavaScript. Seem to get some joy out of not mentioning that till people waste their time trying to help.
