Here's some local reporting, encouraging users in the Poconos to recognize and report Flock cameras wherever they see them.
They mention WaPo's reporting that over 50 police have been charged with using Flock surveillance for stalking personally. In Georgia alone, 18 such arrests have been documented.

Victory! #Flock Ends Rollout of Audio “Distress Detection” of Human #Voices
Reversing course, #FlockSafety —the #surveillance technology vendor most known for its extensive network of automated #licensePlate readers—has announced that it will end a pilot for its acoustic #gunshot detection devicesto identify signs of “human distress.”
In October 2025, @eff warned the public that Flock was rolling out a new feature called “#DistressDetection ” that would be deployed through their acoustic gunshot detection devices (formerly known as #FlockRaven , now called #AudioDetection ). This feature purported to use high-powered #microphones scattered throughout a city to search for sounds of human distress, with original advertisements from the product indicating it would search for “#screaming.” (Since the publication of our original blog post, Flock quietly amended the ad on this webpage to say “distress” instead of “screaming.”)

#Police Have Reportedly Used #LicensePlate Readers to #Stalk Romantic Interests at Least 14 Times in Recent Years
Police #surveillance has led to repeated abuse. One shockingly common form: police officers using #ALPR networks to keep tabs on romantic interests, partners, exes, and even strangers who caught their eye in public. Most incidents came to light only after victims reported officers’ behavior to police, typically in the context of a broader #stalking allegation.
