The Government is Monitoring Anti-Flock TikTok and Instagram Accounts
Documents from law enforcement spy centers show the government is warning cops of "extensive and ongoing chatter on social media" about methods to "physically destroy Flock LPR cameras."
Government surveillance centers are monitoring anti-Flock posts on social media platforms TikTok and Instagram, warning local police about upcoming DeFlock events, including one scheduled for next week. These intelligence bulletins obtained through public records requests also advise police to increase patrols around ALPR cameras, as backlash against Flock grows.
The documents further warn about devices that could be used to locate Flock camera locations. Investigative journalist Dan Boguslaw published several fusion center bulletins about DeFlock, which is a crowdsourced map of ALPR cameras. 404 Media has obtained four recent law enforcement briefings warning police to surveil or increase patrols of areas with Flock cameras.
The bulletins document instances of Flock vandalism and warn about the DeFlock "National Week of Action Against Automated License Plate Readers," a series of public meetings and protests against mass surveillance. Local, state, and federal law enforcement are monitoring anti-Flock activists and attempting to connect politically opposed individuals with vigilantes who destroy Flock cameras.
