Flock Safety automated license plate readers are spreading across Idaho, logging where you go, when you go there, and how often. It’s time to hold government accountable and defend your constitutional rights.
What Is Flock Safety?
Flock Safety is an Atlanta-based, out-of-state private surveillance company that leases networks of “Automated License Plate Reader” (ALPR) cameras to law enforcement agencies across the country. When a vehicle passes one of these cameras, it automatically captures the license plate number, vehicle make, color, and any distinguishing features such as roof racks, tool boxes, damage, dents, political sticker, and many others along with the date, time, and precise location. That data is uploaded immediately to Flock’s private cloud servers.
Flock cameras run continuously. Every vehicle that passes is logged, stored, and made searchable whether or not the driver has done anything wrong, is under any investigation, or has ever had any contact with law enforcement.
Flock markets its system primarily to police departments and sheriff’s offices, often through subscription contracts paid with taxpayer dollars. The company also operates a national network, which allows agencies using the system to query camera data from other participating agencies across the country, meaning a camera in your Idaho city may share your data with agencies in other states.
