Flock “Safety” and a few other surveillance companies have gotten rich from installing over 80,000 AI powered license plate cameras around the United States. These cameras ensure “you can’t get a breath of fresh air” without the police knowing about it (that is a DIRECT QUOTE from Police Sargent Jamie Milliman who used data from a Flock camera to falsely accuse an innocent woman of theft near Denver, CO in October 2025). This app helps map where those cameras are located and to draw public attention to the fact we are living in a surveillance state.

Learned about this noble effort from the conversation with Rossmann at the end of the Denver livestream. I’ve since added 5 cameras in my area and learned they were already installed - city contracted with Flock some 2 years ago (to the credit of city officials, I’m impressed, or maybe surprised is the word, by their proactive approach on privacy. Transparency is an opportunity though). So pleased to see the app has shipped and with more functionality than I expected - hats off to the Devs.

The DeFlock app does exactly what it says, it allows you to help map where these cameras are located to draw public attention to how out of control the surveillance state has become.
