Traffic Cameras Are SECRETLY Tracking Your Every Move— It’s Worse Than You Think!
The short version: Car Coach Reports flags Flock ALPR cameras as a quiet, everyday surveillance creep — mainstream attention worth amplifying.
Our Take
Credit to Lauren Fix and the Car Coach Reports crew for putting Flock Safety in front of an audience that usually talks horsepower and infotainment screens, not license plate dragnets. When car-review channels start warning viewers that cameras on utility poles are logging where their vehicle goes, it's a sign this issue has leaked out of activist circles and into the mainstream driveway conversation — exactly where it needs to be.
The video's framing as "secret" tracking is the part that should sting most. These systems aren't hidden in some technical sense — they're hidden in plain sight, bolted to poles most people drive past every day without a second glance. That's the whole model: normalize the hardware, keep the retention policies and data-sharing agreements vague, and let "public safety" branding do the rest. Most drivers have no idea their plate reads are being stored, queried, and in many cases shared across agencies and states.
If this video got your attention, don't stop at watching — go see what's actually deployed near you on our camera map, and if you want to push back on a system that was built without public input, our take-action page has concrete next steps.
