Flock Safety is a private company that manufactures and operates a nationwide network of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras. According to Flock Safety's published documentation, these cameras photograph passing vehicles — capturing plate numbers, vehicle make, color, and timestamps — and upload that data to a searchable cloud database. Access is granted to subscribing law enforcement agencies and, depending on the contract, private HOAs and neighborhood groups. What data is retained, how long, and who can query it varies by agency contract and applicable state law.
You have a right to know where these cameras are in your community. This map is built and maintained by residents like you. Learn how to identify a Flock camera, check documented cases of ALPR data misuse, or use the route checker to see how many cameras log your daily commute.

A Flock Safety camera is a solar- or grid-powered license plate reader (ALPR) installed by police departments, HOAs, and businesses. It photographs vehicles and reads plates, and is often mistaken for a red-light or speed camera.
