Short answer: Have I Been Flocked is a real, third-party site that checks whether your license
plate appears in Flock camera scan records — using public records requests. It's a useful privacy tool,
not a government site, and it can only see what the records it requested actually contain.
What it does
You enter your license plate number, and the site — built by privacy advocates (Motorbiscuit) — checks public records to see whether your plate was scanned by Flock cameras and how often (AOL). Think of it as "Have I Been Pwned" for license plates (Swisher Post).
Is it legit?
- Yes, it's a real independent tool — not affiliated with Flock Safety or any police agency.
- Data comes from public records (FOIA-style requests), so coverage varies by agency and state.
- Limits: it can only report what the records it obtained contain. A "no results" doesn't prove you were never scanned — it proves nothing was in those records.
- Privacy: you're handing your plate number to a third party — check its privacy policy before using it.
A more thorough alternative
If you want the full picture — contracts, camera locations, retention policy — a public records request to your own city is the more complete route. Have I Been Flocked answers "was I scanned"; your city's records answer "what are the rules and where are the cameras."
Context you should have
- How Flock cameras work: step by step
- How long scan data is kept: data retention
- Can police track your plate: straight answer
- Where the backlash stands: ban tracker
