I fact-checked the list from Jason Bassler's X post claiming these U.S. cities/counties have said "NO" to Flock Safety surveillance contracts (meaning they've rejected, canceled, paused, or terminated them due to privacy, data-sharing, or civil liberties concerns). Overall, the claim is largely accurate. There is indeed a growing national backlash against Flock Safety's automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, driven by worries about mass surveillance, unauthorized federal access (e.g., to ICE/CBP), and violations of sanctuary laws. Many places have ended or paused contracts in 2025, especially after reports of data misuse. This aligns well with your concerns about Flock in Ozark, Missouri—not having communities' best interests at heart due to privacy risks and potential overreach. If you're pushing back locally, this national momentum could help strengthen your case. ~ Buddy Huggins
