Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) like from Flock Safety are quietly building an unregulated, warrantless dragnet across North Carolina. These systems go far beyond traditional security by logging the daily movements of innocent citizens. They tracking where we worship, who we visit, what doctors we see, and when we leave our homes.
We are told this surveillance is for our safety, but less than 1% of scanned vehicles are tied to any crime. Meanwhile, 100% of drivers have their sensitive location data pooled, stored, and shared with hundreds of out-of-state agencies and federal authorities without their consent.
DeFlock NC is dedicated to fighting back. We exist as an independent group to restore transparency, educate local communities about the realities of ALPRs and mass surveillance, and demand the removal of invasive tracking technologies from our towns. True public safety does not require trading away our fundamental privacy.
Mass Surveillance in Creedmoor
The addition of Flock Surveillance cameras into Creedmoor has led to a surveillance network that broadcasts the daily comings and goings of everyone who lives or travels through Creedmoor to over 200 police departments, both in and out of state, and federal law enforcement.
