A growing movement across the United States is protesting and vandalizing a vast network of license plate reader cameras installed by the surveillance startup Flock, citing serious privacy concerns.

• Over 100,000 Flock cameras have been deployed nationwide.
• The movement involves grassroots activists, online communities like DeFlock America (over 600,000 members), and individuals like the vigilante known as Nomark.
• Opponents fear the cameras enable warrantless tracking and misuse by law enforcement, citing incidents of officers spying on ex-partners and tracking individuals seeking abortions.
