#Surveillance Company Tells Cops It Wants to Add #FacialRecognition to #Flock Cameras
#VIDIZMO is advertising capability to export footage from FlockOS to its own platforms that do facial recognition, behavior prediction, and racial and gender analysis on live camera feeds, something Flock won't do. VIDIZMO is a several decades-old video analysis and db company that has started offering facial recognition technology to cops within last six months.

“Joshua Michael’s Flock Surveillance Map highlights the locations of what he says are 300,000 Flock surveillance devices spread across the country. His findings — which were cited in Wednesday’s Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism hearing on Flock — differ from existing maps of Flock’s automated license plate readers in scope and methodology.
Unlike crowd-sourced projects such as DeFlock, which are built on locations submitted by users, the Flock Surveillance Map relies on location data culled from a snapshot, archived by Michael in December 2025, of Flock’s own records. In addition to cameras, it maps supplemental devices — including 27,000 acoustic detection devices, as well as networking equipment that integrates third-party cameras — to illustrate the scale of Flock’s surveillance web.
“These cameras form a nationwide surveillance network that tracks where everyone drives,” Michael told The Intercept, “so foreign nations don’t need to send spies to harm our country. They can simply watch where our soldiers, federal agents, and politicians go.””

“As Flock continues to be the center of a nationwide conversation about automatic license plate reading cameras, the company has said that it doesn’t, and won’t, do facial recognition: “We will not add facial recognition to our devices,” Flock CEO Garrett Langley said in a recent video. But other, third-party companies are telling cops that they are willing to add facial recognition to data gathered by Flock cameras in order to “close that gap.”
A company called VIDIZMO is advertising the capability to export footage from FlockOS to its own platforms that do facial recognition, behavior prediction, and racial and gender analysis on live camera feeds. VIDIZMO is a several decades-old video analysis and database company that has started offering facial recognition technology to cops within the last six months. In a May email to Johnson City, Tennessee, deputy police chief Michael Adams, a salesperson from VIDIZMO wrote that the company’s product could do facial recognition on both Flock and Axon data in “one searchable platform.””

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @davidgerard @MercNews Axon located here in Phoenix area—became famous for “taser”. So very many security services are owned here in Arizona corporate headquarters. You bet the area sheriff’s, deputies and even local cops are quite happy to use their services and equipment.
Just learned cities in this area who are using Flock camera systems are breaking contacts when citizens of the suburb protest loudly. However a sharp-eyed citizen realizes divesting from Flock occurred at the same time a mysterious $6 million or so appeared as miscellaneous in Tempe budget auditing and public records for Axon. Found out Axon is also selling camera surveillance systems now.

CW: Grand Rapids MI FLOCK and ALPR
My local group is asking for information #FLOCK #ALPR
https://old.reddit.com/r/grandrapids/comments/1wth2jy/are_there_any_individuals_submitting_foias/
"There are several groups and news stations out there submitting FOIAs, particularly regarding Flock. As a community we have gotten some good information regarding contracts and audits in municipalities around the Grand Rapids metro. I wanted to see if anyone unaffiliated with a group or news station that may have filed a FOIA personally to gather information on ALPRs or anything else regarding the surveillance state that Grand Rapids and other local municipalities have chosen to take part in without a democratic vote.
My reason for asking is to
Ensure that no one is paying twice for the same data
To let you know what you are not alone in your efforts
My group, CitizensGR is a non-partisan group working to streamline all of this citizen surveillance information since several different entities are interested in and have been successful in gathering more information via FOIA requests. As well as inform citizens of the following tentacles of citizen surveillance below:
We do not just have roadway surveillance in Grand Rapids (Flock, squad car mounted Axon ALPRs), but also retail surveillance, police drones (https://www.wgvunews.org/news/2023-08-22/gr-approves-funding-for-police-drones), 3d spatial surveillance (https://www.google.com/goto, and of course the digital surveillance that Snowden unveiled over a decade ago. I understand that the last two are beyond the powers of our local city officials, but I would like to spread the awareness at just how swiftly these 4th amendment violations are happening as well as the scope at which our privacy is being invaded at every turn.
Feel free to get more involved by reaching out to us at: [email protected]"
