Think about how much someone could learn about your life if cameras constantly tracked where you drove. They could find out which doctors you visit, what house of faith you worship at, who you visit or drive around with – even which political meetings and protests you attend.

But this isn't the plot of some futuristic dystopian movie. It's actually happening across North Dakota.

Automated license plate readers, like those made by Flock Safety, are making our trips to the grocery store, to work, and to school into a quiet act of mass government surveillance – threatening our privacy and our Fourth Amendment rights.

Flock's automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, after all, are not like normal traffic cameras. Rather, they are cameras used along roadways throughout North Dakota, taking photos of all vehicles that come into view and logging them into massive nationwide databases. These creepy cameras make it possible to track everyone’s movements – even if you haven’t been accused of a crime.

This unprecedented spying is terrifying, but there’s good news, too. Communities across the country are fighting back – and winning. In the coming months, we'll be working to limit government surveillance through regulating the use and limiting the presence of ALPRs in North Dakota.

We won't let North Dakota put mass surveillance technology ahead of our civil liberties. Add your name to join the movement to tell Flock and other ALPR companies to Get The Flock Out!
