A viral campaign is urging Americans to turn Halloween into “De-Flock America” night and target controversial surveillance cameras.

Didn’t the Flock CEO just admit (seemingly by mistake) that’s these cameras aren’t just license plate readers?

They’ve been saying they both are and aren’t for months now.

Who cares what the CEO did or didn’t say he’ll say whatever gets these cameras up around the world. We all know what this is. Halloween is the perfect time to cut them all down. Whoever thought of this is a hero

This was in response to the article which states that the cameras are license plate readers and conveniently omits that they can and have been used to track people on foot.
