Flock Doesn’t Like Being Watched
Eric Peters Autos ^ | 09/12/2026 | Eric

Posted on 09/15/2026 3:29:54 AM PDT by Adder

Just as Gavin Newsom and other “COVID” tyrants didn’t abide by their own “guidelines,” Flock camera installers don’t like being watched, either. A guy named Brendan Keefe who works as a journalist for InvestigateTV got a tip from his daughter that someone was putting up a Flock camera near his home in Atlanta, GA. He went to the location to watch and record what was going on, just like the Flock cameras watch and record us. When the Flock installer got in his Flockmobile, Keefe followed, to see where he went next and to watch what he did next – just like the Flock cameras do to us. Apparently, what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander.

For every legit use, there seems to be a dozen reasons to oppose these particular camera systems.

We have had traffic cameras for years...they are at every major intersection..

What we have not had is the ability to track people wherever they go doing whatever they do.

Typically, traffic cameras for tickets only recorded a protentional violation, or just generically gave a video feed.

Flock is by continuous documented surveillance that allows identifying everyone at nearly any time they are in a monitored public space, and the data is stored for long term retrieval (no one is making me believe it ever gets erased, that is naive).

There is a big difference between a generic traffic camera we are used to and devices like Flock.

That’s for sure.

It’s hilarious the flock camera guy objected to being followed and filmed.

We need to raise money and start following flock executives around.

And their wives and kids.

I wonder if they named the surveillance device “Flock” as tongue-in-cheek insinuation / insult that We The People are sheep.

Nice try, we all know that this article came right out of China’s Propaganda Department, using a FAKE AMERICAN for cover.

How do we know. Well, we’re not dumb, we pay attention to the news and CNN is telling us that it’s China (not Russia in this case) that is TWISTING our minds into believing that our government, when provided with detailed data on the movements of everyone of us, might just use it for bad things.

We’re SMART and we know that a Democrat/Socialist/Communist government in DC would NEVER do anything bad to us. After all, they only promise NICE THINGS...

Why would they be. That would ruin their highest upside.

If I’m a murder or narcotics detective, and I suspect that Clevon was involved with an incident at the corner of Prospect and 5th at 2:45am on a date last month, what good is flock cameras if they got erased?

Exactly. If President AOC's justice department determines that you are not on board with islamocommunism, what good is Flock if they can't review your whereabouts historically to see any other people with whom you may have been interacting. Perhaps someone on FR posted something that could be construed as a call to violence.

You may need to be tracked down and rounded up as a co-conspirator being a Freeper by association. Even having an old badge, or distinguished career as a glowie won't save you. Axon and Flock will find you and condemn you and your historical associates absolutely.

Ah, good times.

Now we are down to insults.

Nothing changes.

I suppose the irony of calling me stupid being the crux of your intellectual debate is lost on you.

At the very least these LPR cameras need to only record a license plate if there is an active warrant or a stolen vehicle report filed on the vehicle. All other images should not be stored.

Preferably, we’d have an outright ban on them.
