FlockOff – Cobb

What is Flock?

Flock Safety is the most widespread surveillance network in American history. Their ALPR cameras are capturing details of every vehicle that passes in more than 5,000 communities across 49 states. This private for-profit company sells your data to police departments, private business, and HOAs.

Flock Cameras track your every move! They know your doctor's office, your church, your friends, your politics, & your protests!

What are ALPRs?

Automated License Plate Readers that use AI power to turn images into text. These cameras capture and analyze images of every vehicle that passes, storing details like your car's location, date, and time.

Driver and passengers too!

They also capture your car's make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points.

Civil Liberties

ALPRs continuously identify, track, and analyze movements across entire cities. They store and connect huge amounts of data over time, generating a detailed pattern of your life.

Fourth Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Don't Flock cameras reduce crime?

Atlanta is the most surveilled city in the US, 5,000 various Flock cameras now across Atlanta.

124 Surveillance cameras per 1,000 people

Data released by the FBI shows that the city's mass surveillance has had virtually zero impact on the Atlanta Police Department's ability to solve crime¹.

Are You Safer Being Watched?

Not in Atlanta. Overall Crime Clearance Rates have Declined, NOT IMPROVED

Homicide Rates 53.4% to 48% in 2025. According to Atlanta Community Press Collective, FBI data shows homicide clearance rates in Atlanta have dropped¹.

Human Trafficking

APD reported 37 cases of human trafficking from October 2020-Mid 2026. Only 7 of those cases were cleared before May 2024.

The 12 human trafficking incidents reported after 2024 have ZERO CASES SOLVED¹.

Flock Causes Safety Concerns

• In one California town, Flock misread license plates in 71% of the alerts it sent to police².
• Joel Feder from The Drive news outlet was surrounded by armed police officers in a parking lot in Minnesota. He spent hours explaining why he drives luxury vehicles for a living and is not a car thief. He had to prove his innocence to avoid arrest. Flock system captured unclear footage which missed two numbers of Joel's license plate, causing it to match the full plate of the stolen vehicle they were investigating³.

Fortunately his influence kept him out of handcuffs!

Flock Data Falsely Accuses Florida Woman of Murder

Lindsey Isaacs was falsely accused of a hit and run based on Flock data.

Police accused her of a hit and run that killed three people. Florida patrol impounded her car without even looking for damage. Lindsey was facing 8 felony counts, life in prison, spent 13 days in jail, and had to come up with a $250,000 bail.

When investigated it was clear this was the wrong vehicle⁴.

Flock misread the plate!

You might think "I'm not a criminal, so I have nothing to worry about." Think again!

Absolute Power Corupts All

ALPRs are ripe for abuse by crooked cops and nearly impossible to escape once they designate you as a target.

• Georgia- Marci ex-boyfriend always knew where she was. Flock had given Police Chief Steffman, the power to silently monitor her life. “Have I Been Flocked” showed he had searched for her more than 600 times⁵.
• Texas sheriff's deputy used 83,000 Flock ALPRs to track a woman who had allegedly had a medication abortion at the request of her abusive partner⁶.

Cops use Flock Data for Immigration, Protests, and non-criminal complaints

Have You Been Flocked is using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to highlight the dangers of Flock cameras. Their search tool shows Cobb County is working with ICE agents, using it to find diorderly conduct, and tracking protesters.

Flock Cameras track your every move!

Flock's database can be searched using natural-language descriptions for things like political bumper stickers!

Mass surveillance will be weaponized and abused!

Dystopian Future

SignalTrace is Coming Soon

This is another surveillance company that plans to add sensors to ALPRs that track mobile phones and other Bluetooth devices in your car⁷.

Your Proximity to a Crime makes you a suspect

What can we do?

Cities and Counties have been canceling their contracts thanks to citizens like you showing up to City Council meetings, writing letters, making phone calls, and protesting.

Democracy doesn't defend itself!
