Spookiest Flock Bike Tour - Irvington

If you're lucky enough to have avoided the controversy surrounding Flock Safety's rise to notoriety, this is your chance to learn more. Join us for a guided bike tour through downtown Indy tracing the spread of Flock Safety's surveillance cameras across the city. We'll ride past camera locations, talk about how the system works, and dig into why it's become one of the most contested pieces of tech in American policing.

Since The World's First Ever Flock Bike Tour on August 30th, multiple police officers have been charged with Felonies for using Flock to surveil & stalk wives, girlfriends, and random people. The House & Senate are being urged by Governor Mike Braun to create regulations. Indianapolis City-County Councilor Jesse Brown has submitted a proposal & the Democratic Caucus is considering rules for ALPR use by IMPD.

DeFlock Day, a social media campaign encouraging costumed vigilantes to destroy or disable Flock Cameras, approaches quickly on Oct 31st.

Now is your chance to learn and impact your community.

We start at Thomas Carr Howe High School at noon. All skill levels welcome, leisurely pace.
