DeFlock Fort Worth’s Flock Finder version 2.0. DeFlockFortWorth.org
The short version: DeFlock Fort Worth's updated Flock Finder tool now maps 1,193 ALPR cameras across all of Tarrant County, nearly triple its prior count.
Our Take
The folks behind DeFlock Fort Worth just dropped version 2.0 of their Flock Finder tool, and the numbers tell their own story: 438 cameras reported before, 1,193 now, with coverage expanded to all of Tarrant County. That's not a modest update — it's a sign of how fast these networks are spreading once local volunteers start looking systematically instead of stumbling onto cameras one intersection at a time.
This is exactly the kind of grassroots documentation that makes the difference between vague unease about surveillance and a concrete, citable picture of it. A county-wide map means residents, journalists, and city council members can finally see the scale of what's been installed, often with little public debate, and start asking who's watching, who has access to the data, and why a single county needs over a thousand automated eyes on its roads. Credit to DeFlock Fort Worth for doing the unglamorous work of verifying and logging each one.
If you're in Tarrant County or anywhere else, you can check our camera map to see what's been documented near you, and if you spot a camera that isn't listed, our take-action page walks you through how to report it and push back locally.
