Get Flock out of all public spaces.
No government-run plate readers tracking residents on public streets, intersections, and roads across Indiana.
What we're fighting for
Two clear demands. No surveillance without consent.

Require visible notice for private cameras.
Require businesses to post clear, visible notice when they run Flock/ALPR cameras on customers.

After the Flock vote: the ask is now a ban ordinance
On Aug. 25, City Council voted 8-0 against funding the Flock contract, and the city says the cameras are now offline and coming down. Residents from every party filled that room, and it worked.
That isn't the end of it. FWPD's spokesman said afterward that "the vote did not enact a ban on license plate reader technology," and the department looked at keeping Flock through a smaller contract that wouldn't need council approval. Councilman Russ Jehl, who had proposed adding safeguards to city code, said that loophole leaves one option: an outright ban.
Nothing in city code today stops the same surveillance from coming back under another vendor's name. The campaign is asking City Council for an ordinance that bans mass surveillance in Fort Wayne. Tell your council member you want it on the agenda. The petition and the statewide list are below.

Flock cameras aren't a Fort Wayne problem. They're all over Indiana.
On August 25, Fort Wayne's City Council voted unanimously not to renew the city's Flock contract. Two days later the police department was publicly weighing a direct contract that would go around that vote. Nothing about this is finished — and Fort Wayne is one city in a state full of towns. Tell us where you are, and we'll reach out when there's something near you worth showing up for: a council vote, a records request, a chapter forming.

Sign the petition
Fort Wayne's Flock contract is over, and the petition is not. It still asks City Council for an ordinance that bans plate-reader surveillance, and it asks the Allen County Commissioners, who have not voted, to do the same.
Petition to the Fort Wayne City Council
Dear Fort Wayne City Council:
We, the undersigned residents and concerned citizens, call on the Fort Wayne City Council to immediately cancel the City's contract with Flock Safety and adopt an ordinance prohibiting the use of Flock cameras and similar automated license plate reader surveillance systems within the City of Fort Wayne.
Flock cameras create a surveillance blanket that tracks the movements of people who have not been convicted of any crime. These cameras do not simply watch for criminals. They collect, store, and share location data on everyday residents driving to work, church, school, medical appointments, political meetings, private homes, and community events.
This level of mass surveillance is dangerous, invasive, and incompatible with the constitutional rights of Hoosiers.
Fort Wayne residents should not be treated like convicted criminals simply because they drive on public roads. The City should not normalize a surveillance system that can be expanded, abused, hacked, shared with outside agencies, or used to chill lawful activity.
We demand that the Fort Wayne City Council:
- Cancel the City's current Flock Safety contract.
- Reject any future contract or expansion involving Flock cameras or similar automated license plate reader systems.
- Pass an ordinance prohibiting the installation, use, purchase, or data-sharing of Flock cameras and similar surveillance technology within city limits.
- Require full public disclosure of any existing surveillance agreements, data-sharing practices, retention policies, and outside agency access.
Fort Wayne does not need to become a surveillance city.
We demand the City Council protect the privacy, liberty, and constitutional rights of the people they serve.
De-flock Fort Wayne.
Petition to the Allen County Commissioners
Dear Allen County Commissioners,
We the undersigned residents of Allen County demand you prohibit Flock cameras and similar automated license plate reader surveillance systems in Allen County.
It is your duty to protect the rights of Allen County residents from mass surveillance, data collection, and government overreach.
We call on you to pass an ordinance prohibiting funding, installation, or participation in any Flock camera network.
We urge the Allen County Commissioners to act now and keep Allen County free from automated surveillance.
Sincerely,
