Flock No: The Open Source Project Mapping Every Surveillance Camera in America (DeFlock Interview)

Flock Safety is one of several companies quietly building a searchable database of everyone's car — no warrant required, and no way to opt out. In this Techlore Talks interview, Bob from DeFlock breaks down how ALPR technology works, what "end-to-end encryption" really means in Flock's case, why this issue is bipartisan, and what you can do about it in your own city.
