Flock Safety CEO Walks Back Calling DeFlock Activists Terrorists
Garrett Langley now calls DeFlock's criticism of his 80,000-camera license-plate network 'real valid,' reversing his 2025 slur.
- Langley called DeFlock a 'terroristic organization' in a 2025 Forbes interview about his company.
- DeFlock, run by Will Freeman, crowdsources camera locations; its app logged 350,000 downloads.
- ICE's access to Flock's network and a scrapped Ring deal preceded his reversal.
Why it matters: Retracting a word does not retract eighty thousand cameras already sold to police and ICE.
