More than 30 Flock Safety cameras are operating in and around Alamogordo.
Flock Safety markets these as license plate readers for stolen cars and AMBER alerts. But to Flock these very cameras are nodes in a nationwide surveillance network — their words, from their own patent filings.
We the citizens paid for the cameras while Flock sells the surveillance network that we helped to build. And link-by-link, the people forge the chains of their own bondage.
This is not a rejection of technology, but a call for transparency, accountability, and public oversight. We will highlight the abuses by Flock and its employees, the lies told to the public and city officials, and the tradeoffs that come with this kind of surveillance.
Camera count: deflock.org, the community-run ALPR map. The city has not released its own count.
