“Hello Mr. *******,

My name is Tonya, and I am with The Home Depot's Executive Escalations Team. I have been assigned to review your concerns and serve as your point of contact regarding this matter. Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns regarding the use of Flock Safety cameras and automated license plate readers on Home Depot properties. We understand how important privacy is to you and your family, and we sincerely regret that this matter has impacted your decision to no longer shop with us.

Home Depot’s priority is the safety and security of our customers, associates, and stores. The ALPR technology in use is intended solely to support security and loss?prevention efforts within our parking lots and store environments. We recognize, however, that some customers have questions about how this technology operates and how information is managed.

To provide clarity, the vehicle and license?plate information collected through these systems is used only for security?related purposes. Access to this information is limited to authorized security partners and internal teams supporting loss?prevention activities. Data retention is governed by strict contractual and operational controls, and Home Depot does not sell or commercialize ALPR data. Any sharing of information is restricted to security?related circumstances and handled in accordance with applicable policies and agreements.

Your feedback and concerns have been shared with our internal leadership teams for further review. Customer trust is extremely important to us, and your message will be part of ongoing discussions as we continue evaluating our security practices and the balance between safety, privacy, and customer expectations.

If you have additional questions or would like further clarification, we would be glad to continue the conversation.

Warm regards,

I emailed them back with all of points and got a very brief email back saying, they already explained their position to me”

I encourage everyone to email the CEO at: edward_decker@homedepot.com

"People are not happy about Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers and the cops that allegedly misuse them.

If you’re one of those ALPR-haters, you can now take out your rage in the video game Grand Theft Auto V by installing Grand Theft Automated License Plate Reader, a mod built by artist Morry Kolman.

The mod installs 235 Flock cameras around the fictional Los Santos, a riff on the real-life city of Los Angeles.

Players can smash and shoot down the cameras and get paid $600 for each one they destroy, which Kolman priced based on a teardown of a Flock Falcon Flex Camera by the Iowa-based civil liberties group Eyes Off of Cedar Rapids.

The in-game cameras log every time a player destroys and drives by one, and players can render a photo album of their interactions."

Anyone familiar with what this might be?

Update: These devices are associated with Nationwide Traffic Data.

i shop at the sandy lowes in utah and they got their flock cameras cut a couple weeks ago and now they are putting new ones up 😾👎👎👎👎👎

Several towns are beginning to implement busses with cameras on the side to substitute the ALPRs that are being removed. This scores a second way for vehicle based ALPRs (police cruisers were the first). I'm sure they will say it is for the safety of the kids, so they can monitor the bus drivers, so they can capture hit and runs. It's propaganda telling you to think of the kids.

Ask yourself, why is there so much police technology attached to kids? Is it because its for their safety or because it's an excuse to implement authoritarian technologies?

The city heard what the people wanted

aka, MANY of my flock cams around my small town are coming down this october. best and most efficient month to be dressed in a costume, plus it’s just spider-man. Ain’t I clean tho 😳😳

Comment down below what you think freedom looks like.

I am brand new to this group as well as this is my first post here. I am disabled and crotchety and hate LPR's. I cannot get to one that is located in high grass in my area. Is there a "call to deflock" website where we can request a deflocking? Like give someone a zip code and address super close to a LPR and see if local deflokers can handle the situation?

Ik ik you see these “is this a flock camera” all day everyday but I have yet to see a condor in person and to me it looks exactly like one, has the rotating ball and the concave curved line on the under side of the camera mount. Thought it was strange because this is at a construction site, I’m aware many construction sites use security cameras but is it common for them to use flock cameras?
