Tracked 20+ times on a single drive? Flock cameras are watching more than you think 👀
The short version: A creator's single-drive test allegedly logging 20+ Flock camera hits shows how routine driving can generate a detailed, trackable movement history.
Our Take
Credit to The Algorithm Rabbit Hole for doing what more people should: actually driving around and counting how many times automated license plate readers catch their plate. Whether the number is 20, 15, or 30, the point lands the same way — a normal errand run shouldn't double as a government-logged itinerary of your day.
This is the part Flock Safety's marketing glosses over. Each individual camera hit feels trivial, but stitched together across a city, those hits become a timeline of where you went, when, and how often. That's not traffic safety, that's a tracking network, and it exists almost entirely without warrants, public votes, or meaningful oversight in most towns that install it.
If a single drive can rack up that many pings, imagine what your whole week looks like sitting in a database somewhere. Check our camera map to see what's recording near you, and if you don't like what you find, our take-action page has concrete steps for pushing back at the local level.
