Law enforcement bulletins published this morning show at least seven state fusion centers, plus FBI headquarters, tracking the Instagram and TikTok accounts of people organizing against Flock license plate cameras. The documents came out through public records requests, and they carry a Law Enforcement Sensitive marking. They name individual accounts, they count the cities that signed up for a national protest week, and they tell officers to increase patrols around the cameras. That protest week started today, and runs through August twenty second, with more than four hundred events registered across nearly every state. The bulletins build their case on property damage: seven incidents in Florida, and one device seizure. But they also list people whose activity is filing records requests and showing up at city council. Nothing in the documents separates the two.
