Cops NEED Flock as an excuse to hide deficits in critical thinking behind. If these are not abolished soon you will start seeing innocent people getting murdered.

Yet another Genetec Cloudrunner, which is functionally very simillar to a #Flock camera, has been spotted in Toronto, this time facing the U.S Consulate. Canadians are being lulled into supporting AI-powered mass surveillance with the excuse of public safety. #ALPR #DeFlock #surveillance

Only a matter of time until an LEO hurts someone after stalking them with a Flock camera - or worse.

Just to be clear, there has been ZERO public consultation, disclosure, or even any publicly accessible acquisition, tender, or contract documents pertaining to stationary ALPRs anywhere in Toronto. @oliviachow.bsky.social @tps.ca any thoughts on the matter? maps.panopti.ca?lat=43.6669&...

Hello Toronto! Here are some images of a Genetec Cloudrunner ALPR camera submitted to us by a local resident who was understandably quite concerned. Also attached is Streetview imagery from 2025 of the same pole. Location is Spadina and Bloor Street West. #ALPR #genetec #DeFlock #toronto #gta

Doug Ford is following the #Flock playbook and plans to install ALPRs along provincial hwys: toronto.citynews.ca/2026/05/25/o... Additionally his government is providing grants for municipalities to follow suit! panopti.ca is monitoring this expansion - stay tuned! #cdnpoli #onpoli #ALPR

Flock is almost certainly coming to Canada. Here's trademark registration for them up here: ised-isde.canada.ca/cipo/tradema... On the bright side we're focused on tracking the spread of all ALPRs in Canada, including those from Genetec and Axon: www.panopti.ca
