Detection system and jamming kit
The short version: A UK-focused channel spotlights ALPR detection and jamming gear, underscoring growing public appetite for counter-surveillance tools even as the legality of jamming remains murky in the US.
Our Take
This video comes from a channel that's been chronicling the UK's surveillance creep for years, and it's a reminder that the appetite to detect — and in some cases disrupt — automated license plate readers isn't unique to America. Flock Safety and its competitors have built a business model on the assumption that drivers won't notice the cameras or won't care. Content like this chips away at that assumption, and that's a good thing even if we can't vouch for every technical claim or product mentioned.
We want to be straight with readers: detection is legal and useful, but jamming ALPR cameras or any RF-based system can run afoul of FCC rules in the US, and local laws vary elsewhere. We're not in the business of telling people to break the law, but we are in the business of telling people the truth about what's watching them. Knowing where these cameras live is step one, and it's a step everyone can take without legal risk.
That's exactly why we built our camera map — so you can see what's already been documented in your area instead of guessing. If you find a Flock camera that isn't logged yet, or you're ready to push back through your city council, check out our take-action page for next steps.
