Darth Vader Impostor Confronts San Diego Officials Over Surveillance Cameras

An unidentified man dressed as Darth Vader appeared at a San Diego public safety committee meeting on August 19, 2026, to mock officials over Flock Safety license plate readers. Declaring "The emperor is a fan of Flock," he warned the cameras could track children or stalk former partners — a concern validated by a Louisiana deputy fired for using Flock to monitor his ex-fiancée's car over 3,000 times.
