Roanoke Rally Against Mass Surveillance

Flock contracts are being cancelled. Join us to add our city to the growing list saying no to ALPRs.

Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) have become a staple of policing across the United States. Our city is no exception. From the smallest town to the largest city, we are all constantly being watched, tracked, and catalogued. ALPRs scan millions of plates daily giving police enormous unchecked power that challenges our constitutional rights.

Over the last year, thousands of people across the country have risen up and said no to these private, profit-driven companies blanketing our cities, towns, and communities in ALPRs.

On Monday, August 17 at 6:00 PM outside the Noel C. Taylor Municipal Building, join Roanoke Indivisible in telling the surveillance state to make like a bird and FLOCK OFF! The rally will take place before the regular 7:00 PM City Council public hearing. Make sure they hear your voice by signing up to speak online or at the door.

This rally is in partnership with DeFlock Roanoke and the National Week of Action Against ALPRs, happening August 16-22, 2026.
