FlockYou: Detect Flock Safety ALPR Cameras #shorts
The short version: STS Technologies' FlockYou gadget passively sniffs out Flock Safety ALPR WiFi signatures, giving everyday drivers a cheap way to see the surveillance net around them.
Our Take
Credit where it's due: STS Technologies LLC built something genuinely useful here. A pocket device that passively listens for the WiFi signatures Flock Safety cameras broadcast turns an invisible surveillance grid into something you can actually detect in real time. That matters because most people have no idea how many ALPR cameras are clocking their plate on a routine drive to the grocery store.
This is the kind of grassroots counter-surveillance tooling that should exist more broadly — not just for hobbyists or security researchers, but for anyone who wants to understand how thoroughly their daily movements are being logged by a private company with police data-sharing agreements. Passive detection doesn't stop the cameras from recording you, but awareness is the first step toward organizing against them, whether that's showing up to a city council meeting or just knowing which routes are watched.
If you want to see what's already been documented in your area before you even need a gadget, check our camera map, and if you're ready to push back on Flock contracts in your town, our take-action page has concrete steps.
