Why Are Flock Employees Watching Our Children? (jasonhunyar.substack.com)

• Integration of private ALPR into law enforcement systems
• Erosion of privacy in local community spaces
• Lack of centralized regulation for private surveillance data

"The proliferation of Flock Safety’s automated license plate recognition (ALPR) cameras across neighborhoods is blurring the line between private security and state surveillance. By aggregating vast datasets of civilian movement, including children, these private entities are building de facto shadow infrastructure without robust democratic oversight. The lack of standardized regulation governing how these private companies process, retain, and share data with law enforcement agencies threatens individual civil liberties and collective digital autonomy. This case highlights a critical vulnerability in the integration of private tech into public safety paradigms."
