Rep. Thomas Massie is preparing a bill that would block federal funding for cities and police departments using Flock cameras and similar automatic license plate readers. Massie says the technology amounts to mass surveillance of law-abiding Americans and threatens basic privacy rights. His proposal would use federal money as leverage to stop local governments from building massive databases that track where drivers travel.
The cameras photograph passing vehicles and record license plate numbers, vehicle descriptions, and the time and location of each sighting. Supporters say the technology helps police solve crimes, find stolen cars, locate missing people, and issue Amber Alerts. Critics argue that innocent Americans can be tracked even when they are not suspected of committing any crime.
The company said its technology supported more than one million investigations in 2025 and helped locate more than 10,000 missing people.
The fight now comes down to one major question: how much privacy should Americans give up in exchange for stronger policing? Massie says law enforcement should face tougher limits, while police officials call the cameras valuable tools that help officers do more with limited resources. The bill is still in its early stages, and formal language has not yet been released, but it is already setting up a major battle over privacy, public safety, and government surveillance.

Do you have gout like I do?
Black cherry concentrate does one thing, and only one thing. It eliminates Uric
Acid in your system - that's all it does. And it works better than any drug any
doctor can prescribe. If you have gout, buy a bottle and take two a day, that's all.
See for yourself if it doesn't work. Trust me - it does. Click the picture.
