Episode notes
The World Cup is coming to North America—and so is unprecedented surveillance. Over 1,100 ALPR cameras, mostly from Flock Safety, are poised to track every car near stadiums, logging plates, vehicle details, and even bumper stickers. While companies claim data control lies with customers, activists are demanding accountability, with cities cutting ties and a national protest planned for August. Houston’s NRG Stadium leads with over 300 Flock cameras, backed by a $900K contract, while Atlanta—Flock’s HQ—also has heavy coverage. Worried fans? Try FlockHopper, an app to dodge cameras—or just stream from home.
