ABOUT
Who is Flock Off Shasta County?
Welcome! We are a 100% grassroots, community-driven movement of neighbors, families, and local business owners united across Shasta County.
We love our towns, we deeply respect and support our local law enforcement, and we want to keep our communities safe. However, we firmly believe that true public safety does not require sacrificing our constitutional liberties and personal privacy.
How We Got Started
Like many in our community, we initially understood why automated license plate readers (ALPRs) were proposed by law enforcement as a tool to help keep us safe. But fast forward to today, and we are now seeing these cameras pop up everywhere, creating an inescapable surveillance network.
As time has gone on, a steady stream of alarming information has come to light. Daily, we are learning about widespread abuses, legal lawsuits, systemic security vulnerabilities, and third-party data sharing. What was presented as a simple public safety tool has rapidly evolved into a permanent digital dragnet.
This isn't just our opinion—the courts are stepping in. In a landmark October 2026 decision (United States v. Kyle), a federal judge ruled that warrantless searches using a Flock camera database violated a driver's Fourth Amendment rights. The federal court explicitly condemned the technology as "indiscriminate mass surveillance" that is quickly "approaching dragnet-type law enforcement practice." You can read the full The Hill Legal Analysis Page detailing the case. Once we saw these constitutional violations and privacy facts, we realized we had to stand up and take action.
Our Mission
We are united to achieve one positive, clear goal: The complete removal of Flock Safety cameras and all similar mass surveillance technology from our public streets.
We believe that monitoring the daily travel routes of regular, law-abiding citizens without their consent is a step too far. You shouldn't be tracked just for driving to work, dropping the kids off at school, or running everyday errands.
Why We Are Different
-
Positive & United: We aren't here to complain; we are here to protect. We bring a unified, respectful, and legally grounded voice to our local city councils and county leaders.
-
Built From the Ground Up: We aren't funded by outside special interest groups or massive organizations. We are just regular Shasta County residents who care about the future of our privacy.
-
County-Wide Vision: While Anderson is a critical focus right now, our vision spans all of Shasta County. We want to set a precedent here that protects everyone from invasive, non-consensual third-party tracking.
Stand With Us
Defending our liberties takes a village. Whether you're attending local council meetings, tracking the Board of Supervisors agendas, or simply getting your family to sign the petition—your voice matters.
Let's keep Shasta County safe, free, and surveillance-free!
