Your Plate in the Logs: Decoding HaveIBeenFlocked's ALPR Audits
TL;DR Summary
HaveIBeenFlocked.com lets people see if their license plate appears in audit logs of ALPR searches conducted by Flock’s customers; a “hit” means the plate was looked up, not that the vehicle is under investigation or passed through cameras. The results come from public records requests and can be incomplete (latest data through July 31, 2026). The site notes it does not store plate numbers itself, and displayed entries include the officer’s initials and a 30-day lookup window when available. While ALPRs can aid crime-solving, privacy concerns persist, and several Michigan communities have ended contracts with Flock in response to public feedback.
