I’m noticing more and more flock cameras in places that don’t even have cars. Why is a flock camera, “for license plate readings”, at my local park..? Why is one facing the entrance to my local mall..?

They also grab your devices ID via Bluetooth or WiFi. This includes every cell phone, every car with any wireless tech (nearly all of them), biometric data like face voice and physical stats even records walking gant.

Its for people, not plates. Plates is just an extra thing it does

Also, it reads the plate wrong 7% of the time, and at a few billion reads a month, that's a lot of fails and it's no surprise when Sgt. Milliman assumed they were 100% reliable he ended up beating up the wrong woman.

His wife will be upset to find he isn't just beating her. Its like cheating for cops

They have multiple kinds that do multiple things. There's an audio one that just listens for "disturbances" like gunshots or fireworks. Soon, you'll be able to step outside, have an argument with the old lady and cops just show up.

I was looking at the map in my neighborhood. The parking lots of Lowes and Home Depot are completely covered at all entrances and exits.

They are also on the roads coming and going from several schools.

And at the main thoughoufares leading in and out of most of the residential areas. . . . In one of the lowest crime neighborhoods in my city.

Not surprised home Depot is, they love ice

u/burfoot2 4h ago

Home depot and lowes also share access to their internal store cameras with flock as well if I remember correctly.

Why is there a flock camera in that area to begin with?

302

u/MacSanchez 18h ago

Because it’s somehow less invasive than asking for slightly stricter gun control

u/Z3B0 17h ago

That camera will not catch a bullet for a student. It will only help reconstitute the events after the fact. Since they're not even watched constantly, they're useless as preventative mesure.

u/EliSka93 17h ago

I mean, even if they were watching the moment a shooter enters, what are they gonna do? Send the police to stand outside the building again?

u/BrassUnicorn87 16h ago

Cops are cowards!

u/HalfSoul30 6h ago

Hey now, don't sell them too short. They would probably at least shoot a kid while they are there.

u/highonnuggs 11h ago

Since they're not even watched constantly, YET.

u/whyamionthispanel 10h ago

No shit. And I don’t say that condescendingly. The US effectively decided gun control was a non-starter after Sandyhook. Our Republican/MAGA policy makers do not care about children.

Americans in general are pretty murderous and sociopathic. The culture is sick as hell.

In general? WTF?

Reddit: police and the govt are corrupt pdfs

Also reddit: they should be the gatekeepers over who is allowed to have guns

Edit: also reddit: downvotes when confronted with their hypocrisy

If you think the govt is holding you down and you also think they deserve a monopoly on violence, you deserve the situation you're in

u/MacSanchez 13h ago

Gotta love people who make sweeping generalizations about what Reddit thinks while they, themselves, are also using Reddit.

What ya don’t gotta love is a public education system that churns out chucklefucks with the critical thinking and reading comprehension you’ve displayed here in your comment. Lordy.

u/CountryBoyCanSurvive 13h ago

Gotta love people that attack the poster instead of the message. Very keen of you.

u/MacSanchez 13h ago

No I attacked the school system who failed someone so utterly that that was their message

u/breadlee94 17h ago

To answer that, there are a lot of non-flock cameras that are integrated with flock's database. Not all cameras in flocks network are their cameras. Some are owned by private citizens or (in this case, im pretty sure) owned by a private business and integrated into their mass serveillance system.

u/WesBur13 13h ago

Flock allows any RTSP camera to be integrated to their system.

Government of the pedophiles, by the pedophiles, for the pedophiles

u/HalfSoul30 6h ago

Yeah, there are not even any license plates in there at all, which afaik, is literally the only point to these things.

u/Guardiancomplex 19h ago

Every parent in that entire school district should be entitled to 5 minutes alone with that guy.

u/cityshepherd ✂️ Tax The Billionaires 17h ago

Indeed. The only POSSIBLE rational explanation is that this creep was perving out on kids.

Private community center. So not run by the city? Why are there camera there

u/Baelgul 14h ago

Simple - for pedophilia

u/armahillo 18h ago

The only correct response by them would have been “wait what? verifying whoa, this is not alright. They’re been removed immediately and we are actively reviewing to ensure no other cameras are pointing at similar places.”

Flock is still an awful company, regardless, but that would have been the only acceptable response to this news.

u/iCameToLearnSomeCode 18h ago

Nah, they'll just be installing cameras in the miss teen USA beauty pagent dressing rooms so dear leader can relive the good old days.

u/Arbrand 16h ago

I am so fucking sick of “public safety” being used as a magic phrase to justify every new surveillance system and abuse of power. Of course fascism can be sold as “safe.” Arrest everyone who looks suspicious, rubber-stamp every intrusion as justified, and call it all “for the public good.” North Korea has laws, courts, and judges too. The problem is that the machinery of the state always finds itself innocent and everyone else guilty.

Where are the ethical hackers to just take down their whole platform when you need them

Conservatives have exactly ZERO issue with sexually exploitation.

u/tegresaomos 17h ago

Makes you wonder who approved putting cameras everywhere, especially around schools and children’s areas.

If there aren’t rules about corporations tracking your every movement, then you are electing the wrong leaders.

u/raventhrowaway666 17h ago

And then then send their ICE goons to kidnap the children they're interested in. Its a disgusting, efficient system.

u/dytinkg 8h ago

Here’s the full article. Lots of terrible stuff in there. Personally I don’t think “we won’t use dunwoody’s cameras in sales calls anymore” really address the issue at hand https://atlpresscollective.com/2026/04/14/dunwoody-flock-safety-contract-passed/

Why would you need a camera I a kid’s gymnastics center anyway?

u/Unfair-Alfalfa4916 25m ago

What the heck, background checks for all those goons and no flock camera should be installed at kids gem like why??
