BREAKING! Flock Cameras Capture MUCH MORE Than Just License Plates! w/ Kit Cabello
The short version: Jimmy Dore's show features Kit Cabello breaking down how Flock's 'Free Form' search turns ALPR networks into full human-tracking systems, not just plate readers.
Our Take
Guest host Misty Winston and Hard Lens Media's Kit Cabello put their finger on something we've been hammering on for a while: Flock Safety's cameras were never just about license plates. The 'Free Form' search feature lets cops type in descriptions like clothing color, tattoos, or vehicle features and get hits on people who've never been charged with anything. That's not a plate reader anymore. That's a biometric dragnet dressed up in a traffic-safety press release.
What makes this worse is the sheer scale of it. These cameras aren't just at a few busy intersections anymore — they're clustered around schools, parks, and residential neighborhoods, quietly building location histories on anyone who drives, walks, or bikes past them. Cabello and Winston are right to flag the cybersecurity angle too: a database this rich, searchable by physical description, is an irresistible target for breaches, leaks, and misuse by whoever gets access, badge or not.
This is exactly why we built our camera map — so people can see what's actually watching their block instead of trusting a vendor's marketing copy. If this segment makes you uneasy, don't just stew on it. Head over to our take-action page and push your local council to ask hard questions before they renew that Flock contract.
