The public hates surveillance cameras and, in particular, Flock cameras. The FBI says they don’t work to solve or prevent crime. Local police love them as a shiny new toy, but police don’t run the cities and they are taking the heat for it. City councils, pushed by citizens, are fighting back to stop Flock and other companies as well. Courtenay Turner and I wrote the Digital Bill of Rights for you to take to all local elected and appointed officials, to show them the right way to protect your rights! ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.
“Flock on the Pole” song
Mass surveillance technology might be popular with police departments, but for the US public, it’s becoming an increasingly difficult sell.
At least 54 cities across the US have voted to cancel, non-renew, or reject Flock’s automatic license plate reader (ALPRs) since the start of the year, according to data collected by the Washington Examiner. That comes after reporting in February that some 30 cities had done the same since 2025, indicative of the rising backlash against the tech.
In all, the Examiner reports cities in 23 states have shredded their Flock contracts so far this year, led by California and Wisconsin, which each have seven rejections, cancellations, or deactivations. Other heavy hitters include New York, Washington, and Massachusetts with four each, and Virginia with three.
Though Flock has its cameras in over 5,000 US cities as of July 2026, the rise in rejections at the municipal level comes amidst a tidal wave of outrage around issues of privacy and civil rights.
In cities where civic leaders have been slow to respond to these anxieties, citizens have moved quickly to take matters into their own hands by damaging, obscuring, or stealing the surveillance cameras in order to stop them from recording footage. A rise in official cancelations or rejections shows municipal leaders are catching on to the reality that the American populace broadly disproves of the technology, and they aren’t afraid to show it.
Arguably the highest-profile contract cancellation for Flock came when the Los Angeles Police Department decided to non-renew its years-long contract with the company, a decision motivated by a searing internal audit of the company’s technology. The internal report found that, in just two months, Flock’s ALPRs contributed to 161 false stolen-vehicle alerts, resulting in a false-positive rate of 32.3 percent.
With no sign of the outrage settling anytime soon, it’s likely these 54 cities could just be the start.

They are popping up in so-called conservative rural county level jurisdictions. This is highly localized warfare with traitorous foxes, likely “elected” officials or just your common local scumbag sold out to Mammon and the ancient antichrist cults of inhuman, psychopathic, technocracy enabled globalists, waging war on their neighbors and pocketing the money.
We continue to suffer their presence and temporal dominion over Earth. Post WWII local Battle of Athens Tennessee is the American spirit along with repentance, inexhaustible courage and returning to our Christian heritage and values will break them.

As we can see. The cameras are not stopping crime in and of themselves. The same level of violence and criminal activity continues. The cameras are more beneficial to the ruling class for spying and surveillance of the human population. Most of the ruling class don’t know or believe that God has cameras rolling to so to speak. Every word spoken and every wicked deed by these people will be judged by God in due time.
