Flock cameras in town and cameras in the woods #flockcameras
The short version: A creator spots Flock cameras both downtown and tucked in the woods, underscoring how these devices quietly extend beyond city streets.
Our Take
Credit to Monk Cheetah for pointing a camera back at the cameras. The split the video highlights — Flock units on main street and others hidden out in the tree line — is exactly the pattern we track: these systems aren't confined to busy intersections anymore. They're creeping onto rural roads, access points, and wooded pull-offs where nobody expects to be logged.
That's the trick of mass ALPR deployment. Once a department normalizes cameras downtown, expansion into quieter, less-visible areas draws far less scrutiny, even though it means more of everyday life — including people who've done nothing wrong — gets time-stamped and stored. A camera in the woods isn't catching rush-hour traffic; it's catching whoever happens to drive down that one road, for whatever reason.
If you've spotted hardware like this in your own area, help document it on our map, and check take-action for ways to push back on unchecked expansion before it becomes the norm where you live.
