Government surveillance centers are monitoring viral anti-Flock Instagram posts, warning local police about upcoming De Flock events including one scheduled to start next week, and have told cops to "increase patrols around ALPR [automatic license plate readers]" as backlash to Flock grows, according to government intelligence bulletins obtained using public records requests.

The documents warn about devices "that could be used to identify the locations of Flock cameras." Investigative journalist Dan Boguslaw first published several fusion center bulletins about De Flock, a crowdsourced map of ALPR cameras. 404 Media has now obtained four more recent law enforcement briefings warning police to surveil or beef up patrols of areas where Flock cameras are located.

A new fusion center warning from the Colorado Information Analysis Center notes "people have begun utilizing the [De Flock] app to locate and then destroy or disable the ALPRs. Multiple public accounts are posting videos of individuals vandalizing these cameras, adding momentum to the online discourse and influencing others to do the same." That bulletin highlights a specific Instagrammer, called Nomark. Project.

De Flock is an open source, crowdsourced map of ALPR cameras created by Will Freeman. Freeman told 404 Media that De Flock has never called for vandalism of Flock cameras and that the "National Week of Action Against Automatic License Plate Readers" for August 16-22 is purely political in nature.
