Trump Drops His 'Being Studied' Line, Endorses Flock's License Cameras
Aboard Air Force One on September 13, Trump told reporters he likes the AI plate readers despite calls that they're an infringement.
- The White House posted "President Trump Gaggles with Press on Air Force One En Route Joint Base Andrews" on September 13, 2026.
- "I sort of like 'em because of that, because of law enforcement."
- Trump's shift follows rising activist vandalism against Flock cameras and his earlier "being studied" hedge.
Why it matters: A surveillance tool becomes normal exactly when a president stops studying it and starts liking it.
