Talk:Flock license plate readers
Change this page to Flock generally as the scope of the article expanded
Flock also sells regular AI-Powered surveillance cameras [1], Mobile security trailers [2], and "Drones as a First Responder" [3].
I suggest that we make this article about flock more generally instead of specifically focusing on their ALPR product.

- I also think the language used fails to distinguish between Flock's presence in the U.S. vs other parts of the world. They are deployed across the globe. Colleen (talk) 17:05, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
