Who we are
FlockWatch is an independent project with no affiliation to Flock Safety, any police agency, or any advocacy group. We compile publicly reported information about license plate reader (ALPR) cameras so residents can see what's in their communities and what's being done about it.
The goal is to be the database journalists cite: every claim on this site links to its original public source — a news report, a court document, or a government record. Nothing here is anonymous gossip.
How we verify data
- Every entry links to a source. If an incident, ban or policy move can't be tied to a public record, it doesn't go on the site.
- States without verified records are marked honestly. Placeholder state pages say "data being compiled" — we never invent numbers to fill a page.
- We flag what isn't certain. Where a report is unconfirmed, the page says so instead of presenting it as fact.
- Corrections are published. If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction with the new source.
What we do and don't do
- ✅ We track reported deployments, state legality, city bans and vandalism/backlash incidents.
- ✅ We link every data point to a public source and update continuously.
- ❌ We do not collect, store or publish anyone's license plate or location data.
- ❌ We do not encourage or endorse vandalism — it's a crime, and we say so on every incident page.
- ❌ Nothing on this site is legal advice.
