Are Flock cameras keeping Americans safe — or building a massive surveillance network?

On this episode of It’s a Numbers Game, Ryan Girdusky sits down with a top Flock Safety executive, Rahul Sidu for a wide-ranging conversation about the controversial license plate reader technology spreading across the country.

They tackle some of the biggest questions surrounding Flock cameras: Can police use them to track people improperly? How long is vehicle data retained? Can Flock employees access camera data? Does the company sell information to data brokers? What happens when the technology misreads a license plate? And where should Americans draw the line between public safety and personal privacy?

Rahul also responds to concerns about police officers allegedly misusing license plate databases, explains the company's auditing and accountability systems, and addresses claims involving facial recognition, data sharing and cameras remaining in place after local contracts end.

Plus, Ryan weighs in on Sen. Jon Ossoff, his potential presidential ambitions and his controversial comments about Trump aide Natalie Harp. Ryan also answers listener questions about voter turnout, the 2026 midterms, North Carolina's Senate race and whether Democrats can successfully campaign as moderates.
