Why Communities Want to Stop Flock Cameras w/ Jason Koebler

About this episode

No one is comfortable with police surveillance in the US, which is why there’s a bipartisan backlash to Flock cameras. Jason Koebler joins Paris Marx to discuss the rise of Flock, how their cameras are being pitched by right-wing politicians and police agencies, and how they’re being used to stalk residents from coast to coast. Jason Koebler is a co-founder of 404 Media and co-host of the 404 Media Podcast. The podcast is made in partnership with The Nation. Production is by Kyla Hewson. Support the show on Patreon.
