美国政府监控中心正在监视反对Flock自动车牌识别摄像头的社交媒体账户和DeFlock运动[1]。官方情报公告向警方发出警告，并增加了在相关摄像头附近的巡逻力度[1]。这些公告将从事合法政治倡议的反监控活动人士与破坏摄像头的人士混为一谈[1]。
DeFlock计划于8月16-22日举办"全国反自动车牌识别摄像头行动周"[1]。政府情报公告声称"DeFlock运动"鼓励禁用摄像头或遮挡车牌[1]。然而，DeFlock创始人Will Freeman否认了这一指控，表示"DeFlock从未呼吁禁用摄像头，已通过合法公众参与取消了100多份合同"[1]。
这些监控行动由来自科罗拉多州、威斯康星州、新泽西州、新墨西哥州等多个融合中心发布[1]。南佛罗里达大学警察局查获了一台可用于定位Flock摄像头的设备[1]。此外，约有数十起Flock摄像头被破坏或移除的事件[1]。
U.S. government intelligence fusion centers are actively monitoring social media accounts and the DeFlock movement, which opposes the use of Flock automatic license plate recognition cameras, while increasing police patrols around camera locations and issuing law enforcement warnings [1]. Intelligence bulletins from multiple fusion centers in Colorado, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and New Mexico have conflated legitimate political advocacy against the technology with camera vandalism incidents [1].
DeFlock, an anti-surveillance organization, has pushed back against these characterizations. Founder Will Freeman stated that "DeFlock has never called for disabling cameras" and emphasized that the movement has successfully canceled over 100 contracts through lawful public engagement and civic participation [1]. The group plans to hold a "National Day of Action Against Automatic License Plate Readers" during August 16-22 [1]. Government intelligence documents have claimed that the "DeFlock movement" encourages camera removal or license plate obstruction [1]. In June 2026, the University of South Florida Police Department seized a device designed to locate Flock camera locations [1], and approximately dozens of incidents involving Flock camera vandalism, damage, or removal have been documented [1].
