Pushback against Flock surveillance cameras continues [PgXBIDqM3hk]
In Michigan, a location of JARS Cannabis dispensary responded to a Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) positioned near its parking area by erecting a sign labeled "No Flock Zone" directly in front of the camera, effectively obstructing its field of view. Flock Safety cameras automatically record license plates, vehicle attributes, and timestamps, sharing data with law enforcement agencies across interconnected networks. While proponents state ALPR technology assists police in tracking stolen vehicles and solving crimes, privacy advocates and local businesses argue that continuous monitoring outside licensed dispensaries creates unnecessary mass surveillance on law-abiding citizens. For those living in the US: When you see a Flock camera, does it give you a sense of safety, or does it feel more like surveillance? Leave your thoughts in the comments. Media: OrwellDay on X
