About the Project
Remove Mass Tracking. Defend the Constitution.
The Liberty Over Surveillance Project works to remove Flock and all networked license plate reader surveillance from public spaces, and to restore the constitutional norm that government tracks individuals only with individualized suspicion and lawful process.
What We Are
A Volunteer Civic Project
We are a volunteer civic-education and constitutional-privacy organizing project: neighbors who research, document, and speak. We are organized as a national project carried by state chapters - one shared name, one verification standard, local work everywhere. The founding chapter, and the current active front, is Oklahoma.
Liberty over surveillance. Every time.
Tone & Values
How We Carry Ourselves
- Peaceful and lawful, always. We work through public meetings, public records, and public speech. Nothing else.
- Factual. Every claim is sourced and dated. Where we are uncertain, we say so. See our verification standard and corrections policy.
- Constitutional. Our argument rests on the Fourth Amendment and the Supreme Court's own reasoning about aggregated location data. We state the law accurately and never overclaim it.
- Cross-partisan. Privacy from mass surveillance is not a left or right issue. We welcome everyone, and we do not campaign for or against candidates under this project's identity.
- Not anti-police. We are critical of surveillance systems and weak accountability structures, not of individuals. Officers and their families are tracked by these databases too.
What We Do
Education, Research, Documentation, Organizing
- Civic education - plain-language explainers like ALPR 101 and Know Your Rights.
- Research and verification - primary-source fact-checking of every contract, vote, and case we cite.
- Public trackers - the Nationwide Tracker, the Bills & Policy Tracker, and the Court Cases page.
- Peaceful organizing - state chapters, public meetings, council attendance, records requests, and volunteer coordination.
Conduct Standards
The Lines We Do Not Cross
- No threats, harassment, or encouragement of confrontation - toward anyone, ever.
- No doxxing. We never publish private personal information, and we advocate the same restraint we demand of government.
- Recording only as applicable law permits.
- We distinguish fact, opinion, allegation, and unresolved questions - and label which is which.
- Visible, dated corrections when we get something wrong.
