Flock’s Story Doesn’t Add Up: FOIA Bombshells Expose Surveillance Lies

In this in-depth interview from Business Reform, Dr. Jon Padfield sits down with Jason Hunyar in Dunwoody, Georgia, who has filed nearly 100 open records requests exposing inconsistencies in Flock Safety’s operations. Hunyar reveals how Flock employees accessed live cameras inside a Jewish Community Center — including a children’s gymnastics room and pool — for sales demos to police, contradicting the company’s public statements. The discussion covers Flock’s inability to produce a referenced “demo agreement,” cozy steak dinners between police and Flock reps right after controversial votes, the “Safe City” strategy designed to bypass council oversight, massive data sharing with over 1,000 external agencies, and broader concerns about privacy, data ownership, AI training on private feeds, and the lack of real accountability in building a nationwide private surveillance network.
