New Tool Lets Drivers Check if Their License Plate Was Searched by Private Surveillance

The Have I Been Flocked site compiles FOIA-obtained audit logs to show whether a driver’s license plate has been looked up in Flock Safety’s private camera network, including the reason given for the lookup; it does not reveal whether a vehicle passed a camera or if the driver is under investigation. Flock operates over 120,000 AI-powered cameras that share data with police and governments, and while supporters see it as a policing tool, privacy advocates point to potential misuse and backlash, as shown by vandalism incidents against cameras.
