F**k Flock: One Hacker vs. 120,000 Cameras

Rick sits down with BENN JORDAN, the musician-turned-security-researcher who did what Flock Safety said was impossible: he found their "unhackable" license-plate camera network wide open on the internet. Benn walks Rick through how he stumbled onto unmarked cameras near his home in ATLANTA — the most surveilled city in America — and ended up exposing passwordless feeds, a data-retention policy that's basically a LOOPHOLE, and a new tool called Flock Nova that cross-references your location with criminal records and open-source data. This isn't a left-vs-right issue — Benn breaks down why gun owners AND privacy advocates are equally furious, why local elections are turning on this exact fight, and why the whole business model might not survive a serious Fourth Amendment challenge. If you've driven past a camera you didn't notice, THIS episode is about you. • • • • • You can find Benn Jordan on: YouTube: @BennJordan X: @bennjordan Instagram: @bennjordan Mastodon: @bennjordan@mastodon.social Rick Wilson is on X @TheRickWilson, Bluesky @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and Substack at therickwilson.substack.com.
