The short version: A creator called Kruix teases an Android computer-vision project tagged with Flock, hinting at DIY tools to spot ALPR cameras in the wild.
Our Take
Details are thin here — just a title, some hashtags, and a channel name, Kruix — but the combination of "Flock," "Android," and "computer vision" is enough to catch our attention. It suggests someone is experimenting with mobile tech to visually identify license plate reader hardware, which is exactly the kind of grassroots tooling this fight needs more of.
Flock Safety has spent years building a surveillance network with minimal public disclosure about where its cameras actually are. When independent developers start building apps that can recognize this hardware on sight, it shifts power back toward ordinary drivers and residents who deserve to know when they're being tracked. We don't know yet how functional or accurate this particular project is, but the impulse behind it — demystifying black-box surveillance gear — is worth encouraging.
If you want to see documented camera locations right now rather than wait on experimental apps, check our map, and if you're ready to push back on ALPR deployment in your own town, our take-action page has concrete steps.
