Flock Cameras Are Everywhere!
The short version: Creator Khi Turner documents just how widespread Flock Safety's ALPR cameras have become, underscoring why constant, unregulated tracking demands public attention.
Our Take
Credit to Khi Turner for putting a camera on what a lot of us already suspect when we drive through our own neighborhoods: Flock Safety's license plate readers aren't just at a few high-crime intersections anymore, they're becoming wallpaper. When a single creator can point a lens around town and rack up sighting after sighting, that's not a coincidence — it's the business model. Flock's pitch to city councils and HOAs is 'blanket coverage,' and blanket coverage is exactly what it delivers, whether residents asked for it or not.
The title says it plainly, and that's the point worth sitting with: 'everywhere' isn't hyperbole anymore for a lot of towns. Each of those cameras is quietly logging your plate, your location, and your timestamp into a database that police departments across the country can query, often with little independent oversight and even less public input on how long that data sits around or who else gets to see it. A video like this does something valuable that press releases never will — it makes the scale visible.
If watching this made you want to know what's mounted near your own house or your kid's school, that's the right instinct. Check our camera map to see what's already been documented in your area, and if you don't see your city's cameras logged yet, our take-action page walks you through how to report them and push back at the local level.
