"Flock taught cops how they could surveil the No Kings protests and “small
parades” using a mix of Flock’s technology and law enforcement’s own databases
in a webinar last year. As Flock publicly downplays the power of its automated
license plate camera network and highlights its use to solve violent crime, the
company’s seemingly endless trove of webinars, training sessions, and blog
posts show it offers far more invasive capabilities.
In the webinar, Flock’s director of market management Caity Peak explains how
real time crime centers — which are police surveillance centers that utilize
Flock cameras and other surveillance cameras — can be used for emergency
response, but can also be used to surveil “established events” like 4th of July
fireworks displays, parades, bike races, Mardi Gras, and protests. The webinar
shows just how routine the idea of always-on surveillance has become, and how
casually it is used during extremely innocuous events."
