Revoke Flock Safety Contracts and Ban ALPRs Statewide

Revoke all state and local contracts with Flock Safety and pass a statewide ban on automated license plate readers in public spaces. These cameras are showing up in parks, community pools, schools, and bike paths — places where people have every expectation of privacy — and the documented harms are serious enough to demand action now. Flock's cameras were hacked in under 30 seconds and were left exposed to the open internet. Palo Alto's license plate data was searched by hundreds of out-of-state agencies, including ICE. A study of Flock deployments in Hampton Roads found the cameras surveilled Black communities more intensely than white ones. Police have used license plate readers to stalk romantic interests at least 21 times. This isn't a hypothetical threat to civil liberties — it's an active one, and Flock has been quietly lobbying local police to push city leaders into buying more of it. Mass surveillance infrastructure doesn't become acceptable because a corporation markets it as a safety tool. Ban these cameras before the network grows any larger.
