- Police use Flock to search license plates. Now there's a viral website to see if yours was one of them.
A website called "Have I Been Flocked?" was launched by Cris van Pelt to increase transparency regarding license plate reader technology used by Flock Safety. The site allows users to check if a specific vehicle's license plate has been part of an audit log search conducted by a Flock customer. This grassroots effort is situated within a larger debate about police surveillance and the prevalence of such monitoring systems.
