Chief Investigative Reporter Brendan Keefe examines how Flock's ALPR network helps solve some crimes while ensnaring innocent people. The investigation features Colorado resident Chrisanna Elser, who was wrongly charged with package theft based on Flock images of her truck, and Jason Hunyar's records fight in Dunwoody where Flock executives accessed cameras at a Jewish Community Center.
Comedian-commentator Jimmy Dore covers Flock's nationwide ALPR expansion and the growing pushback from cities and activists. The segment hits the Dunwoody live-camera abuse, the 60 livestreaming Condor cameras, and the broader debate over privacy versus claimed public safety benefits.
A long-form interview with researcher and YouTuber Benn Jordan covering his 2025-2026 investigations into Flock Safety, including the Condor PTZ cameras left livestreaming on the open internet. Jordan walks through the security and privacy implications of the exposures and how he and 404 Media verified them.
Benn Jordan's latest long-form investigation expands his Flock research to the broader ecosystem of cloud-connected 'smart' cameras, tracing the industry from Marie Van Brittan Brown's 1966 patent to Amazon Ring's integration with police and insurance workflows. Jordan demonstrates deauth attacks, side-channel RF leakage, and traffic-metadata reconstruction attacks on consumer cameras, and cites research showing these devices provide no statistically significant crime-deterrence benefit.
A federal judge upheld Norfolk's ALPR dragnet and the Institute for Justice is appealing. This video explains how citizens can support the fight by using their state's public records law to obtain ALPR contracts and policy manuals from local law enforcement — and what happens when agencies like Sanibel PD refuse to comply.
In this video, Dr. Jon Padfield examines Flock NOVA, an AI-powered law enforcement platform marketed with the tagline "Search Once. See Everything." Drawing on claims and materials provided by a security researcher, publicly available documents, and real-world examples of technology misuse, this video explores how modern surveillance tools may undermine the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Benn Jordan's follow-up investigation reveals that at least 67 Flock Safety Condor cameras were streaming live video to the open internet with no authentication, allowing anyone to watch real-time footage of playgrounds, parking lots, and public streets. Jordan demonstrates how trivially exposed feeds could be used to identify and track specific individuals.
Security researcher and YouTuber Benn Jordan demonstrates critical vulnerabilities in Flock Safety's ALPR cameras, showing how anyone with physical access can gain full control of the device by pressing a simple button sequence. The investigation reveals hardcoded credentials, unencrypted data storage, and a police interface lacking two-factor authentication.
