Detecting Flock Cameras While Wardriving #wardriving #flocksafety
The short version: Valleytech Custom Solutions shows how wardriving techniques can be repurposed to sniff out Flock Safety cameras' wireless signatures in the wild.
Our Take
Wardriving used to mean hunting for sketchy Wi-Fi routers. Now, as this video from Valleytech Custom Solutions shows, the same hobby is turning into a grassroots counter-surveillance tool. If a Flock camera broadcasts a detectable wireless signature, that means ordinary people with cheap hardware can start building their own picture of where these devices actually are — not just where Flock or local PD says they are.
That matters because the official record on ALPR deployment is almost always incomplete. Departments undercount, contracts get buried, and "community safety" pitches rarely come with a public map. When hobbyists and privacy-minded tinkerers start independently verifying camera locations through RF detection, it closes some of that information gap and puts power back in residents' hands to know what's watching them on their own streets.
We'd caution that DIY detection is a starting point, not a substitute for organized tracking — signals can be spoofed, missed, or misattributed. But it's exactly the kind of bottom-up verification this fight needs. Check what's already been documented on our camera map, and if you want to push back on unchecked ALPR expansion in your own town, see our take-action resources.
