DeflockBCSBryan/College Station Is Being Watched.
Every time you drive past a Flock Safety camera, your license plate, vehicle, location, and timestamp are recorded and stored in a database shared with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country.
- $300,000+ Spent on Flock contracts
- 120+ Cameras in Brazos County
- 51 Documented Security vulnerabilities
This Is Happening
Right Now.
Every trip you took last week was logged: dropping your kids at school, picking up groceries, visiting your doctor, attending church, going to a political meeting, stopping by a lawyer's office. Not because you did anything wrong. Because you drove past a camera.
Flock cameras are not triggered by violations. They record every vehicle, every time, all day long. — Flock Safety product documentation
That data does not stay local. It enters a nationwide network called the Flock National Lookup Tool, accessible to thousands of agencies across the United States — including federal agencies.
College Station and Bryan residents have never been given a meaningful vote on this system. No public hearing. No community input. No published policy explaining how your data is used, who can see it, or how long it is kept.
Four Reasons This Matters.
Constitutional concerns. Documented abuse. A track record of insecurity. And no public accountability.
- Constitutionality
It may be unconstitutional.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Carpenter v. United States that the government cannot collect a detailed record of your movements over time without a warrant. A dense network of ALPR cameras capturing your location day after day raises serious Fourth Amendment concerns. The Institute for Justice is currently suing Norfolk, Virginia over a network of just 176 cameras.
- Documented Abuse
It has already been abused.
A police chief in Sedgwick, Kansas used Flock cameras to track his ex-girlfriend 228 times. A Texas sheriff used the system to search for a woman who had obtained an abortion. An innocent family in Aurora, Colorado was held at gunpoint when a camera misread their plate. These are just a few, there are hundreds of similar instances happening across the country.
- Security
It is not secure.
Security researchers found 51 vulnerabilities in Flock's camera systems. Police login credentials have appeared for sale on dark web forums. Congressional leaders have called for a federal investigation. Your location data is being processed by a company whose systems have serious, documented security gaps.
- Accountability
Nobody is watching the watchers.
No judge signs off before your car is tracked. There is no warrant, no probable cause, and no independent review. A network that watches everyone should be watched by someone.

Conservatives and progressives alike have raised alarms about unchecked government surveillance. This is not left versus right. It is citizens versus secrecy. It is your city, your tax dollars, and your constitutional rights.
