⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Multiple towns in Connecticut are permanently removing Flock cameras from their neighborhoods after a massive backlash over privacy concerns.

A FOIA request revealed that, in just one town, third parties accessed camera data more than 500,000 times in only nine weeks.

"Flock Safety could not guarantee that it's not sharing information with federal agencies."

500k third-party accesses in 9 weeks — one town. They don't sell protection, they sell your movement data. Every plate a ledger entry, every route a product. The backlash needed a FOIA to become visible.
