A former employee of surveillance giant Flock Safety has blown the whistle on the company’s secretive practices, accusing it of misleading workers about how its AI-powered spy cameras were being used and deploying aggressive tactics to silence public opposition.
Jonathan Paz, who worked as a government affairs manager for Flock, said he joined the company believing its technology would help police locate missing people and solve serious crimes.
Instead, Paz says he discovered that his real job was to stop local resistance from influencing elected officials before they approved Flock’s surveillance systems.
The company’s cameras continuously record and track vehicles, cataloging details such as license plates, bumper stickers, and visible damage before allowing law enforcement agencies to search through the data.

Former Employee Says He Was ‘Lied To’
Paz joined Flock roughly two years before leaving the company in July 2025.
His official responsibility was to help present Flock’s products to local governments and secure approval for camera deployments.
His job was to represent the “product as best as possible, making sure that we can get approved at council,” Paz told 404 Media.
That meant traveling to communities and persuading local officials to authorize Flock’s growing surveillance network.
Paz said his faith in the company began to collapse when residents showed up to oppose the cameras and raised concerns about privacy and mass surveillance.
He eventually realized that his role was not simply to provide information to elected officials.
It was to neutralize the public opposition before it could affect the outcome.
