Online users reportedly tried to label a property they said belonged to Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley as a “public toilet” on Google Maps. Whether the property was his or a listing remained up is unconfirmed.
Newsweek reported that users circulated an address they described as Langley’s, but did not independently verify it; this article does not publish it. The report says Langley’s property ownership and current residence, and who submitted any Street View blur request, are unconfirmed. Google lets homeowners or tenants request a permanent blur after eligibility certification and proof of address, so a blur alone does not establish that Langley requested one. Who created any Maps listing and whether the property was physically affected are also unknown.
Flock Safety operates automated license-plate-recognition networks across the country, capturing plate observations tied to locations and times. Langley has publicly called for a national “compromise” between privacy and safety, the debate behind the online mockery.
