Flock Cameras: Live Oak Has 10x MORE Than San Antonio! #shorts
The short version: Double Daves Podcast flags that tiny Live Oak, Texas has packed in far more Flock ALPR cameras per capita than its massive neighbor San Antonio.
Our Take
Double Daves Podcast is pointing at something we see constantly in our own tracking: camera density has almost nothing to do with population or crime stats and everything to do with how aggressively a local police department (or city council) decides to buy in. A suburb like Live Oak can end up blanketed with Flock readers at a rate that dwarfs a city twenty times its size, simply because nobody in town pushed back when the contract came up for a vote.
That's the real story behind these per-capita comparisons. Flock's business model depends on saturation — the more cameras in a small area, the more complete the picture of who drives where, when, and how often. A dense cluster in a small Texas suburb isn't a security upgrade, it's a tracking net, and the people living inside it rarely get a real say before it goes up.
