The removal of Flock cameras is presented as a populist defense of ordinary Floridians' privacy against intrusive government and monetized surveillance data.
Flock Safety is a private surveillance-technology company whose automated license plate reader cameras are marketed to law enforcement and automatically record license plates and timestamps; civil-liberties groups have long argued that aggregated ALPR data enables mass location tracking.
