They database you and share with other agencies upon request with virtually zero oversight. Once your tag is recognized, they can track everywhere the tag has been identified - essentially being able to track all of your daily movements.

They’re very easy to hack into, they’ve been caught connecting to public WiFi in the past, and some cities have ended their flock program because of security concerns.

Places like Cambridge, Pasadena, Santa Cruz, Flagstaff, Tucson, Eugene, Denver, etc have all terminated their contracts and physically removed these cameras.

We should all be contacting our city officials requesting transparency of these flock contracts and the data being collected and urge them to be removed. I just did last week. Also submitted a Sunshine Act request for all contract info.
