This Ain't Your Average Camera-We Found 3 More Sneaky Flock Cameras
The short version: R.C Entertainment's San Diego street-level spotting of three more disguised Flock ALPRs shows how normalized covert plate surveillance has become in everyday neighborhoods.
Our Take
Credit to R.C Entertainment for doing the unglamorous but essential work of walking the streets and pointing a camera at the cameras. Finding three more Flock Safety units tucked into San Diego's roadside clutter isn't a one-off story — it's a pattern. These devices are engineered to blend into utility poles and sign posts precisely so drivers never clock that their plate, location, and travel pattern just got logged and shipped to a database most residents never voted on.
That's the real issue here: not whether any single camera catches a stolen car, but that an entire city can get wrapped in a license-plate dragnet without a public debate about who sees that data, how long it's kept, or which agencies get to query it. When private citizens have to go hunting for hidden hardware just to find out their own neighborhood is wired for tracking, that's a transparency failure, not a safety feature.
If you want to see what's already been documented near you, check our camera map, and if San Diego's city council or county sheriff hasn't told you plainly how this system is governed, that's worth pushing on — our take-action page has the tools to start.
