    If the map isn’t reporting any false information then they don’t have a legal grounds for the removal and this likely violates anti-slap laws.

    Flock is a private company with equal rights to everyone else: no more, no less.

      Flock isn’t the only entity operating security cameras and plate readers. How many non-Flock devices are being reported as Flock units?

        It’s a good question but given Flock’s cooperation with the ICE I don’t want to give them benefit of doubt. https://deflock.org/ isn’t currently listing the supposed 300,000 nor does it claim they’re all flock.

          Oh, I don’t mean to give them any credit whatsoever. I’m just saying that it’s very likely that there is “false information” included this set. That doesn’t mean they actually have a significant case, just that the claims may need to be adjusted to the generic “Camera” or “ALPR” rather than “Flock” specifically.
