Are you being tracked without a warrant?
The short version: A Florida law firm's video spotlights what we've said for years: Flock's ALPR network runs on trust, not warrants, and that trust keeps getting abused.
Our Take
Credit to McCulloch Law, P.A. for putting the warrant question front and center. Flock Safety cameras log every plate that passes, building a searchable timeline of where you've been, and officers can query that database without a judge signing off first. The video's examples of cops running plates on exes or people with no case connection aren't rare glitches — they're the predictable result of a system with wide access and thin oversight.
This is the core problem we keep hammering on: Flock markets itself as a tool for solving crimes, but the guardrails against misuse are mostly internal audit logs and department policy, not hard legal limits. When the same infrastructure that could flag a stolen car can also let an officer stalk a former partner, "safety" and "privacy violation" aren't opposite framings — they're two outcomes of the exact same unregulated system.
If you want to see how far this network actually reaches, check our camera map for cameras near you, and if you're ready to push back on your local department or city council, our take-action page has the tools to start.
