Something strange is going on with Flock Safety cameras.

Flock’s automated license-plate readers have rapidly popped up across American roads, neighborhoods and parking lots…even playgrounds...creating a searchable database of where vehicles have been. As reports emerge of warrantless searches, police misuse and data sharing among thousands of organizations, public outrage has made Flock the national face of mass surveillance.

But what happens if every Flock camera disappears tomorrow? POOF gone?

In this video, we investigate Flock Safety’s expansion, the Fourth Amendment loophole behind license-plate tracking, police surveillance drones, gunshot-detection microphones, real-time crime centers and the competing companies waiting to replace Flock.

Because Flock may be the visible black box beside the road—but the surveillance network surrounding it is becoming harder to see.
