finding undocumented flock cameras
The short version: A Nester's ordinary commute became an impromptu audit, using WarDriveGo to catch Flock cameras that never made it into any public registry.
Our Take
This is exactly the kind of grassroots verification work that keeps the surveillance-industrial complex honest. Nester didn't set out to make a statement — they just had WarDriveGo running during a normal commute and stumbled onto Flock cameras that apparently exist in the real world but not in whatever public accounting is supposed to track them. That gap between what's installed and what's disclosed is the whole ballgame when it comes to ALPR accountability.
Every undocumented camera represents a failure somewhere in the chain: a police department that didn't publish its footprint, a city council that never voted on it, or a vendor happy to let deployments outpace disclosure. Citizens driving around with tracking apps open, cross-referencing what they see against what's on record, are doing the audit work that agencies should be doing themselves — and often aren't. That's not paranoia, that's basic due diligence in a country where these cameras log your movements without a warrant.
If you want to see what's already been mapped in your area, check the map, and if you spot something that isn't on it — like Nester did — there are ways to get involved and push back. Start with take action to find out how.
