The short version: A Flock camera with no clear paper trail turned up in Millcreek, Utah, and even city officials reportedly couldn't say who put it there or why, per creator Kacee Allen.
Our Take
If local officials can't tell you who installed a license plate reader on their own streets, that's not a bureaucratic hiccup — it's the whole problem with how this industry operates. Flock Safety's pitch to cities is speed and convenience, but speed and convenience are exactly how surveillance infrastructure ends up bolted to a pole with nobody able to answer basic questions about ownership, authorization, or data access.
Credit to Kacee Allen for digging into this instead of letting it slide as a non-story. A "mysterious" camera in a town like Millcreek is a reminder that these systems frequently get deployed through quiet vendor arrangements, mutual-aid agreements, or neighboring jurisdictions' contracts — leaving residents and even city staff in the dark about what's capturing their movements and who can query it later.
This is precisely why independent tracking matters. Check our camera map to see what's been documented near you, and if you want to push back on unaccountable deployments in your own community, our take-action page has concrete steps to start.
