Your Privacy is Under Threat
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.

GRANVILLE COUNTY SHERIFF EXPRESSES CONCERN OVER FLOCK CAMERAS
July 10, 2026: On Monday, July 6th, Granville County Sheriff Robert Fountain expressed his concern over the addition of 10 Flock Cameras in Granville County. Sheriff Fountain proposed 10 cameras on the edges of the county. The contract would initially be for 2 years, with the intent to have the camera system for at least 5 years. The proposal made clear that once brought online, the Granville county system would be integrated with municipalities who already have cameras in the county as well as the nationwide network of surveillance.Â
However, Sheriff Fountain wished to have the item pulled from the agenda for further consideration and discussion among the community.
