Where this statement fits
Should Flock-style license-plate surveillance networks exist?
Networked automated license-plate readers record passing vehicles and let agencies search or share travel records across locations. Candidates and officials disagree over whether to prohibit these networks, keep them with legal limits, or defend their use for investigations. This tracker records attributable positions on that choice, including proposals that would affect only public funding or data access.

About this source
Laura Loomer's August 27, 2026 post, the full text of which is quoted here.
Before the quotation

How this statement is classified
The label describes this statement's response within the context above.
Why this label?
The case asks whether Flock-style license-plate surveillance networks should exist. Loomer declares herself "pro-Flock" and calls for cameras outside every mosque, which supports the networks and their wider use, so we labeled it Defended or excused and placed it at Keep on the remedy ladder. Her proposal to aim the cameras at mosques goes beyond any remedy the ladder lists.

Read the full caseGluba says Flock and other license plate cameras violate the Fourth Amendment and should be removed
“They are a complete violation of community privacy and safety, they are in direct violation of the fourth amendment to the US constitution and should by law be removed immediately. They have been abused throughout the country by various LEOs and citizens alike as they have little to no security in their software. Every other day we see a new article about someone using a LPR camera system to spy on and track an ex girlfriend or boyfriend, or we see that someone has again used them to track children. They must be removed!”Read statement
