'Have I Been Flocked' website lets drivers find out if vehicles were searched in Flock camera system
The short version: KENS 5 spotlights a new tool letting drivers check if their plate turned up in leaked Flock audit logs — proof this dragnet is trackable and contestable.
Our Take
Credit to KENS 5 for covering "Have I Been Flocked," a tool that flips the surveillance script by letting ordinary drivers query the very audit logs Flock Safety and police departments generate every time an officer searches the system. For years, the burden of proof has been on the public to guess whether their movements were logged, searched, or shared. A searchable database built from public records finally puts that receipt in your hands.
This matters because Flock's whole pitch rests on "it's just for solving crimes," but audit logs across the country have already shown officers running plates for personal disputes, unauthorized agencies pulling data, and searches with no case number attached. A tool that lets you check your own plate against those logs turns abstract privacy concerns into concrete, individual accountability — and that's exactly the kind of friction this industry doesn't want.
If you're in a Flock-covered area, don't stop at checking the logs. Find your local cameras on our map and push back through our take-action resources — audits only matter if communities keep demanding them.
