Advertising Material Only: Flock Cameras are destroying lives across America and Indiana everyday
The short version: A Hoosier driver's daily dash-cam gripe about a Flock reader on US 31 is a small but telling data point in America's quiet rollout of mass ALPR surveillance.
Our Take
Credit to Paul Kaushal for doing what most of us never bother to: actually looking up at the pole on his daily commute. His video, flagged as advertising material about the Flock camera on US 31 between Hamilton and Tipton, Indiana, is less a polished investigation than a gut-check from an ordinary driver who noticed he's being logged every single day and didn't like it. That instinct matters more than any press release from Flock Safety.
These rural stretches of highway are exactly where the ALPR dragnet expands with the least scrutiny. City councils debate these systems in Indianapolis or Chicago; out on US 31, a camera goes up between two small towns and nobody holds a hearing. Multiply that by the thousands of similar poles quietly logging plates, timestamps, and travel patterns of people who've done nothing wrong, and you get a nationwide surveillance net stitched together one unremarkable road at a time.
If you want to know whether a camera like this is watching your own commute, check our camera map, and if you'd rather not just shrug it off like most drivers do, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the local level.
