Key Points:
- The website HaveIBeenFlocked allows drivers to check if their license plates have been searched by Flock surveillance cameras, using publicly available audit logs obtained through FOIA requests.
- The site does not reveal if a vehicle passed a camera, only if agencies using Flock cameras searched for that license plate, with common search reasons including drug-related issues and motor vehicle theft.
- Created in 2025 amid growing use and controversy of Flock cameras, concerns have emerged over potential immigration enforcement access and misuse by law enforcement officers for personal reasons.
- Notably, a North Carolina officer was arrested and fired for repeatedly using the system to track a personal acquaintance, highlighting privacy and ethical issues.
- In response, Flock CEO Garrett Langley announced upcoming system changes by January 1, including a tool to detect and flag abnormal search behavior.
