Have you been Flocked? Here’s how to find out

HaveIBeenFlocked.com offers drivers a way to determine whether their license plate has been queried in the Flock Safety automated license‑plate‑reader network. According to the site, Flock cameras capture images of passing vehicles, transmit them to Flock’s servers for analysis, and share the resulting data with customers that include law‑enforcement agencies, private businesses, apartment complexes and neighborhood watches. In Las Vegas, Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said the Metropolitan Police Department operates about 180 Flock Safety cameras and has deployed 130 Motorola cameras throughout the valley. He also told the Las Vegas Review‑Journal that police can access more than 300 privately owned cameras. To use the service, visitors enter their license plate number into the search bar to scan a series of “audit logs” within the Flock system. The results do not show whether a vehicle passed a Flock camera or what the camera recorded; instead they indicate whether any Flock camera user has searched for that plate in the database. HaveIBeenFlocked gathers its information from publicly available transparency portals and Freedom of Information Act requests, which the site makes available. The service states it does not retain searched license‑plate numbers and discards the search results after presentation.
