DeFlock.me is a website allowing users to log and view the locations of ALPRs, such as Flock products. On January 30th, 2025, Flock sent a cease and desist notice to the owner of DeFlock demanding the name of the website be changed to exclude the company's brand name. The letter also stated that "the Website also implies that various license plate readers are vulnerable to security hacks. . ." which Flock alleged ". . . provides a false impression about the security of Flock Products." <ref>''[https://www.eff.org/files/2025/02/26/2025_01_31_deflock_cd_ex-3.pdf “DEFLOCK”- Cease and Desist].
