Everyone working on license plate reader surveillance, on both sides. Critics, researchers, journalists, agencies running programs, and the vendors themselves.

Don’t Flock Me Store dontflockme.store
Third-party print-on-demand merchandise store selling "Don't Flock Me" apparel, flags, and yard signs. Appeared within days of Rep. Massie's July 2026 "don't flock me" post. Despite the word "official" in its branding, we found no affiliation with Rep. Massie or any organization, and no identifiable operator. Listed for completeness; buy at your own judgment.
