WAVE News nation

Key Points:

  • HaveIBeenFlocked is a website that allows users to check if their license plate has been searched by Flock surveillance cameras by accessing publicly available audit logs obtained through FOIA requests.
  • The site does not reveal if a vehicle passed by Flock cameras or the results of searches, only the instances when a license plate was searched by agencies using the system.
  • The most common reasons for Flock searches are related to drugs and motor vehicle theft, based on public records tracked by the website.
  • Concerns have been raised about the use of Flock cameras, including potential access by immigration enforcement and misuse by law enforcement officers for personal reasons, exemplified by a North Carolina officer's arrest for improper searches.
  • In response to misuse concerns, Flock CEO Garrett Langley announced upcoming system changes, including a tool to flag abnormal search behavior, set to be implemented by January 1.
