Episode Details

San Diego’s community is sounding the alarm over Flock’s 24/7 automated license plate readers, demanding accountability as these surveillance cameras collect and store vast amounts of data — often without transparency or oversight. The TRUST SD coalition, formed in 2019, challenges the city’s refusal to heed expert advice and public pleas, including redirecting surveillance funds to essential services like libraries and restrooms. A damning case — a man jailed for 30 days based on a faulty ALPR reading — highlights the human cost of misidentification and eroding trust. The coalition insists: if this tech can’t be deployed responsibly, it shouldn’t be used at all — because safety shouldn’t come at the price of privacy.
