    License Plates to Flying First Responders - How Flock Built the Most Talked-About Camera in America

    Flock Safety has become one of the most effective tools in modern law enforcement and one of the most controversial companies in America. Its solar-powered, cellular-connected license plate readers, video cameras, audio sensors, and first-responder drones are helping police departments solve hit-and-runs, locate missing children, and assess calls in seconds. At the same time, the company finds itself at the center of fierce public debate over surveillance, data privacy, and government overreach. In this episode of The Outpost, hosts Adam Stofsky and Shannon Yavorsky sit down with Flock Safety Chief Product Officer Bailey Quintrell and Chief Legal Officer Dan Haley for an in-depth, candid look at both the technology and the legal guardrails behind it.
