If you've been following my efforts to inform the Ozark, Missouri Board of Aldermen about the real risks of Flock Safety cameras, this new video will hit hard. In the chilling finale to his "Flock Trilogy," musician and investigator Benn Jordan exposes a massive security failure: dozens of Flock's advanced "Condor" cameras—AI-powered devices that don't just read license plates but actively track and zoom in on people—were left wide open on the internet.
No passwords. No encryption. Anyone, anywhere, could watch live feeds, download weeks of footage, or even remotely control the cameras.
Jordan, collaborating with 404 Media, shows the horrifying reality: footage of children playing unsupervised at playgrounds, families shopping at Lowe's, joggers on quiet streets, private arguments in parking lots, and everyday moments that should remain private. Using simple open-source tools, he demonstrates how quickly this data can be cross-referenced to dox individuals—uncovering addresses, medical conditions, financial details, and more.This isn't theoretical. These vulnerable cameras were publicly deployed across the U.S., turning ordinary public spaces into a free-for-all surveillance buffet for potential stalkers, harassers, or worse.
As Ozark continues expanding its Flock network (with plans for more cameras monitoring our highways and city limits), we have to ask: Is this the kind of "safety" we want? A system so insecure that it invites abuse, while invading the privacy of innocent residents going about their daily lives?

It's time for our local leaders to demand independent audits, transparency, and real accountability before pouring more taxpayer money into this flawed technology. Privacy isn't optional—it's a right. Share your thoughts: Should Ozark hit pause on Flock expansion until these vulnerabilities are addressed?
