Flock Safety's license plate reader cameras have expanded to over 90,000 units across 49 states, scanning 20 billion vehicles a month and building searchable profiles on Americans. No warrant. No judicial oversight. 


Federal criminal defense attorney Ron Chapman examines how the Flock system works and why dozens of cities are now canceling their contracts.


This episode covers:
• The full capability of Flock's camera network, from license plates to vehicle fingerprinting
• Cases of officers using the system to track ex-partners and surveil women across state lines
• The wave of cities pushing back against Flock surveillance
• Fourth Amendment case law from Katz to Carpenter and how it applies
• Where Flock data could end up, including aggregators like Palantir

If your community is weighing Flock cameras, this is worth hearing before the next council meeting.
