Flock Taught Cops How to Surveil No Kings Protesters
Flock webinars teach police to surveil No Kings protests and routine events using FlockOS, ALPRs, drones, and AI-powered video search.
404 Media reports Flock's training webinars show police how to monitor protests, parades, and fireworks using FlockOS, a platform combining ALPRs, drones, gunshot detectors, 911 data, and third-party cameras. Flock says more than 4,800 cities run FlockOS, and the EFF previously documented multiple law enforcement agencies running Flock searches around No Kings rallies. The reporting suggests Flock's public framing of its ALPR cameras as minimally invasive understates the platform's broader surveillance capabilities.
