Flock Safety’s Fake Police Unit Searched Real City Cameras

Flock Safety created a fictitious police account 'Flock City PD' and used its FreeForm AI search to query real city cameras in Georgia and Texas for people with Stars of David, political stickers, and protest signs. Moderation failed to block some sensitive queries, as revealed by audit logs obtained by 404 Media.

• Account 'Flock City PD' searched cameras in Dunwoody, Georgia, and Bryan, Texas
• Queries included 'Star of David', 'don't tread on me flag', and 'large group with signs'
• Some queries passed after a warning that could be bypassed
• Flock said it was testing moderation and isolated the demo environment
