Flock thyselves

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.

These cameras are going up everywhere in Central Florida. I can see the nearest one from the end of my driveway.

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?

Absurd hysteria.

“Absurd hysteria.”

Under what’s defined as legal now, maybe. And when the socialists are in power and decide that certain groups meeting, or going to gun ranges, etc. should be punished?

I am sure the left sees Flock cameras as the first step in a social credit system. Like they have in China with development assistance from Google.

Notice how governments rushed to set these cameras up and to implement the system? They are passionate about anything that restricts freedom and/or brings in money.

That’s right ... if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to be afraid of ...

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

A movement is brewing to “de flock” on Halloween.
So I’ve heard. It would be a shame if people bought cordless angle grinders (using cash) and accidentally cut them down. I really hope people don’t do that. Don’t shine green lasers at them either. Fortunately these things are sensitive, and know when you are coming, so an inexpensive clean room suit to disguise one’s self should never be worn.

Unless you are a criminal, or you are unfaithful to your spouse or your boy or girl friend, or are Christian or have publicly spoken out against abortion or have donated to a pro-Trump organization or... why would anyone care if Flock records your license plate?

Or are you claiming that the data couldn't be leaked and/or misused?

Regards,

The hysterical flock panic is a program instituted by the lawyer cabal. Defense lawyers lose cases and fees because of irrefutable evidence provided by the cameras.

It is the lawyers who are providing the behind the scenes money and effort to kill the evidence against which they have no defense

Cops are proven garbage. That’s why nobody trusts them with this power. Nobody trusts the data brokers either.

As long as the USA legal system protects and enforces our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, I am not worried about Police officers - nice, or otherwise.

Sorry to disappoint you, Lurker.

I have nothing to hide.

I am just an old man who minds my own business.

However, if you - or any one else - decides to attack my Constitutional Rights, I will definitely fight back.

The move towards a surveillance state is likely unstoppable because a high enough percentage of voters (particularly including old people and women) will always prioritize security over freedom.

Have you seen the people from the DSA who are seeking to end the Constitution? Check out Jessie Waters opening statement last night (8/18/2026)

"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?"

I guess you missed the quote from Andy Bashear on April 10th, 2020:

"Kentucky will record license plates of those who show up to any mass gatherings, such as church services, and will provide that info to local health departments, who will in turn order those individuals to be quarantined for 14 days, Gov. Andy Beshear says" https://cnn.it/3ebJ7xv

Perhaps you shouldn't be living in an allegedly "free" country. Perhaps you think the bastards in our government would never do something like the "COVID" psyop again. I think you would be very, very wrong.

It’s a fact that the ability to track individuals movement with the Flock cameras has already been abused by law enforcement.
