Stutzman Introduces Don't Spy on Me Act to Block Federal Flock Camera Databases
In this brief October 8, 2026 interview on his own YouTube channel, Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) discusses his recently introduced Don't Spy on Me Act (H.R. 10609). He describes Flock Safety's automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras visible along roadsides that feed data into databases, arguing the federal government should not have warrantless access. The host and Stutzman express concern over a "surveillance state" and the need for constitutional guardrails beyond simple license plate reading. The segment promotes the bill as preventing federal creation or maintenance of "vehicle fingerprinting" databases. Sourcing relies on Stutzman's own statements and the bill text, with no independent experts, graphics, or opposing views presented. The throughline is Fourth Amendment protection against aggregated location tracking without proper procedures.
