Axon, the Flock camera company, also invented the Taser!

Axon Enterprise — formerly TASER International — now supplies AI surveillance tools to 17,000+ law enforcement agencies. Protesters say its data-sharing contracts with ICE make it a tool for immigration enforcement.

Flock Safety cameras now operate in 4,000+ U.S. communities!

Founded in 2017, Flock Safety has rapidly expanded its license plate reader network nationwide. Critics — including the ACLU — warn the cameras enable mass surveillance with limited oversight, fueling protests like Seattle's.

License plate reader protests echo 1970s wiretap backlash.

After the 1972 Watergate scandal exposed illegal surveillance, Congress passed the Electronic Communications Privacy Act reforms. Today's Flock camera critics raise similar 4th Amendment concerns about mass data collection without warrants.
