Flock thyselves
American Thinker ^ | 19 Aug, 2026 | M. Walter

If you’ve been wondering whether Flock cameras are tracking your movements, there’s a way to find out.

Wonder if you’ve been Flocked? Wonder if your neighborhood has been Flocked?

What the Flock am I talking about?

Flock cameras are those new, souped-up Big Brother “traffic” cameras that have been breeding like ants all over the country. They are very good at capturing your license plate and other identifying information:

SNIP

You may be wondering where these Flock cameras are in your neighborhood and whether they’ve captured you. Happily, there are very easy ways to check.

First, the map. Below is a screenshot of the actual map you can search at DeFlock.

I live in an extremely rural area in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, and I was shocked at the number and locations of the Flock cameras in my tiny little town. You can search by zip code, city/town name, or even an exact address.

Next, there is a website where you can search your car’s license plate to see whether someone using the Flock system has searched for your plate. It’s on a website which is perfectly named “Have I Been Flocked?”.

Now, to be clear, this is not a search of the official Flock database itself. It’s a search of publicly available data gathered via FOIA and crowdsourcing at “Have I Been Flocked,” so it is definitely incomplete.

f people bought cordless angle grinders (using cash) and accidentally cut them down.>>>. Use a cordless bandsaw. They are quieter and work really fast. they are made mostly to cur pipe.

“I have nothing to hide.”

Then fill in your “about page” with your real name, address, all your phone numbers, birth date, all your financial information and a picture of you “nekked”.

From your post 3: “Unless you are a criminal, or you are unfaithful to your spouse or your boy or girl friend, why would any one care if Flock records your license plate?”

But from post 16: “However, if you - or any one else - decides to attack my Constitutional Rights, I will definitely fight back” at which point you may become the criminal you assume and imply you are not now.

We have a lot of wannabe Lavrenty Berias just itching to get into positions of power in this country.

“Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime” takes on a whole new level of meaning with these kinds of surveillance tools in the hands of Bolsheviks.

“You’ve made an awful lot of trips to that gun shop in the past few months. Are you plotting a terrorist attack? Come with us, we need to ask you a few more questions.”

“I see you consistently attend a church that is a known cell of Christian Nationalist racists. We need to talk to you about the activities taking place there.”

It’s just a camera.
It’s just a checkpoint.
It’s just a temporary law.
It’s just a train ride.
It’s just a camp.

They record and access far more than your plate. They link to phones, earbuds among other things. The data collected is available to users nationwide. Flock databases can determine where you are at on your own property, dispatch police and provide a picture of you and everything ever captured by flock.There is little if any control over data or data retention or access. With infrared capabilities and AI they can reconstruct images not ordinarily seen. There is now flock services available to private entities that can tie to the existing databases. Every doorbell camera, store camera,every delivery truck can be flock equipped.

I like the method in the opening scene of Cool Hand Luke.
Quiet and methodical.

Because I love freedom. It is my right and the government wants to restrict it. The old “if you have nothing to hide...” is a chicken-sh_t copout.

“Notice how governments rushed to set these cameras up and to implement the system”
.
I just came from a FR thread citing 13 Americans are killed every day by Illegals driving our roads.

The would-be Trump assassin was stopped with Flock cameras within the hour of the assault. He’s already been tried, convicted and imprisoned.

So just let that nice police officer come into your house and search it any time he wants to ...

Have some pot, a kitchen scale, and some baggies in the kitchen cabinet? Obviously possession with intent to distribute. Felony time for that.

Have a bag of fertilizer and a gas can in the garage? Bomb making materials. Some ammonia cleaner under the sink, and a jug of bleach in the laundry? Materials for a poison gas attack. Layer on some terrorism charges and a possible trial in the secret George W. Bush court.

No one can claim that they have nothing to hide. Everyone is at risk in the police state.

Because it’s not doing that only.

They have admitted, repeatedly, they are identifying the people inside and IDing them too.

Plus the amount of cameras are enabling essentially stalking.
They are recording everywhere you go, at what time, in what car.

Some hackass SWAT team assaulted a driver on the road because flock read the plate wrong. Guns out, full armor, dragged from the car.

This creates even more avenues for police abuse, as we are seeing recently. not so surprising the hackass chud cops are stalking ex wives and girlfriends using it.

if Stalking is against the law, why is remote stalking okay?

“why would any one care if Flock records your license plate?”

You might have gone to the grocery store after your wife specifically told you not to.

I’m not involved in any criminal enterprise and just go to work and live a routine life. So I’ve got nothing to hide, but I’m still being watched and my comings and goings as well as other personal data are being recorded and stored in some huge searchable database. Imagine if our government gets taken over by the DSA or some other tyranny. What could a despotic government do with this data? You visited a local gun store expect a knock on your door by the modern Gestapo. You drive a car that doesn’t comply with government “guidelines” you might find it confiscated. Comrade you didn’t get permission to go to another state or out of your assigned area… your social credits will be reduced. Think of how this technology would have been utilized during the COVID tyranny.

This type of constant surveillance has no place in a free society.
