Spain Is Installing Flock-Style Cameras
The short version: A YouTuber flags that Spain is rolling out AI license plate cameras that look just like Flock's, showing automated surveillance isn't just a US problem.
Our Take
Credit to the creator behind "I Could Be Wrong" for spotting something we've been saying for a while: this surveillance model doesn't stay contained within state lines or national borders. If Spain is standing up AI-powered plate readers that visually mirror Flock's hardware, that's a sign the business of mass vehicle tracking is becoming a global export, not just a quiet rollout in American suburbs.
The pattern should feel familiar to anyone who's followed Flock's expansion here: cameras get pitched as a narrow tool for solving specific crimes, then quietly scale into a always-on network that logs everyone's movements whether or not they're suspected of anything. Once that infrastructure exists, the question of who gets access to it, how long data is kept, and who audits misuse rarely gets answered before the cameras go live.
We built our map so people can see exactly how far this has already spread in the US, and we keep pushing resources for anyone who wants to push back locally. Watch the full video on their channel, and if you haven't checked whether your own neighborhood has been flocked yet, now's a good time to look — and to visit our take-action page if you don't like what you find.
