The use of license plate-scanning FLOCK cameras has skyrocketed in recent years. But as their use has grown, so have concerns about mass surveillance and the possibility that data could be shared with ICE or used to track protesters. An increasing number of cities have terminated their contracts with FLOCK over concerns about data-sharing.

Did you know that there are hundreds of FLOCK cameras spread all across Franklin County? It’s anyone’s guess what information is being collected, where and how data is being shared, and who maintains control over it. The possibilities for misuse are endless and frightening.

With the current City of Columbus contract with FLOCK ending in May, we have an opportunity to pressure City Council not to renew.
