The creepiest 'sales demo' of all time

In a letter to the editor, Dunwoody resident Jason Hunyar writes about a recent incident involving a Flock camera feed in a community center in Dunwoody. He questions the partnership agreement the city has with Flock.

A Flock automated license plate reader at Perimeter Mall is one of more than 100 ALPRs and cameras posted in Dunwoody.

On Sept. 30, 2025, a Flock vice president logged into the Dunwoody PDโ€™s Flock system and looked at a camera in the childrenโ€™s gymnastics room of a private community center here in Dunwoody.

He did not look at any other cameras in the entire 400-camera network that day.

The community center shared their cameras directly to the PD under the pretense that access was โ€œsolely for real-time critical incident response.โ€

Flock and Dunwoody elected officials both say this was for a โ€œsales demo.โ€ They claim this was โ€œpart of authorized activity approved under the city's demo partner agreement.โ€
