The national picture
Flock Safety reports roughly 120,000 cameras across 49 states (GadgetReview), so the odds are real that Flock cameras are operating in Utah. In August 2026 the company announced platform changes after backlash over its license plate reader network (Denver Post), and a nationwide investigation documented how plate readers track nearly every vehicle on American roads (Boston.com).
