Surveillance technology from Flock Security has been installed across the country and is being used in suspicious and dangerous ways by law enforcement agencies. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the pieces “Cops Are Using Flock to Spy on People for the Crime of Standing Around” by Sam Biddle and “Flock Wants the Most Detailed Map of its Surveillance Cameras Taken Offline” by Nikita Mazurov in The Intercept, which highlight and analyze the existence and use of 120,000+ cameras and additional supplemental devices by Flock Security all across the country, the troubling ways law enforcement agencies are using this surveillance technology, and the impact of a cybersecurity researcher’s camera map on the state of Flock’s operations and data security effectiveness, as well as the concerns about and impact of this surveillance technology on our privacy and safety, and what we learn and take away from these incredible pieces in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.
