Flock License Plate Readers (previously known as Flock Safety Falcon), are a line of security cameras used by local law enforcement.

Consumer impact summary

Freedom

There is no known way for individuals to opt-out of license plate readers from recording their vehicle's license plate.

Privacy

According to Flock Safety's website, the license plate readers don't violate an American's fourth amendment rights' due to them saying "license plates are not personal information" and "[the cameras] are not following a person around their daily business", despite law enforcement's ability to identify an individual based on a license plate number.. Flock also states the recordings and data is automatically "hard deleted" after 30 days.

Incidents

Add one-paragraph summaries of incidents below in sub-sections, which link to each incident's main article while linking to the main article and including a short summary. It is acceptable to create an incident summary before the main page for an incident has been created. To link to the page use the "Hatnote" or "Main" templates.

If the company has numerous incidents then format them in a table (see Amazon for an example).

Privacy concerns (2025)

Main article: Privacy concerns with Flock cameras

Many have voiced their concerns regarding the use of these cameras. Organizations such as No ALPRS (No Automatic License Plate Readers) are made up of state and local organizations to fight against the implementation of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs). Tools such as DeFlock make it easy for people to identify the locations of the ALPRs, with there being over 30,000 reported worldwide. The cameras are a primary talking point in American cities such as Austin and Denver, with Home Depot and Lowe's being the most common storefronts for them.
