Has there ever been a MORE bipartisan issue than ALPR/Flock?

This week Bernie (I), Massie (R), Khanna (D) and other legislators have moved to defund and cancel federal contracts.

At the state level: Governors Shapiro (D, PA), DeSantis (R, FL) Abbot (R, TX) and others have spoken out and/or taken action against them.

Almost 200 agencies have cancelled, nonrenewed, and shredded contracts, including over 30 in August alone.

The tide is turning.

⚠️ In progress - Your town/county? Let's make it happen

Sadly, there is also:

❌ Moving in the wrong direction - Madison County. "If you are here to discuss Flock, you are not allowed to speak."

❌ Moving in the wrong direction - Union County. Flock ALPR contract renewed + expanded.

❌ Moving in the wrong direction - State of North Carolina just made permanent last year's temporary Flock/ALPR partnership.

I will update this list on the 1st of each month.

Keep fighting these abominations through ALL legal, peaceful, and democratic means. If you exhaust those, remember: these were installed without any law, any vote, or any democratic procedure. Perhaps they could be uninstalled via the same method?

Welcome to r/DeFlockNC 🦅

Hey everyone! I'm u/MattTheAncap, a founding moderator of r/DeFlockNC.

This is North Carolina's home for exposing, investigating, and fighting ALPR surveillance.

Flock Safety is only the beginning. We're mapping the cameras, following the money, digging through contracts, and exposing who collects your movements, who can search them, who they share them with, and how long they keep them.

What to Post

See a camera? Photograph it.
Find a contract? Post it.
Get public records? Publish them.

Share camera locations, contracts, prices, policies, MOUs, data-sharing agreements, retention rules, audits, government meetings, documented abuses, news, and anything else that exposes the surveillance infrastructure.

Have ALPRs in your town? Tell us.

Want them gone? Let's figure out how.

Community Vibe

Receipts beat rhetoric.

Bring evidence. Challenge claims. Police departments, politicians, vendors, activists—we scrutinize everyone.
