This led me to find Flock law enforcement accounts for sale by a Russian vendor on a dark web marketplace.

@cardon_brian Flock didn't get hacked, they left the front door open and the porch light on. No MFA, cop logins for sale on a Russian dark web store, license plates and passwords just sitting there. You built a surveillance state and couldn't even lock the trailer it's parked in.

Guess we should charge Musk and Flock with multiple felonies for selling our sensitive data.

Holy shit! This seems... problematic.

Weak MFA enforcement plus exposed credentials and sensitive camera data would represent a serious security failure if independently confirmed. You and @10_beth_ are easily two of my favorite follows.

FOX: American cities reject Flock cameras due to privacy concerns ----- Glenn does a great job explaining the ins and outs of Flock cameras. He cites that they are unconstitutional, talks about the number of Flock cameras errors and says it is a mass surveillance system. He also asks what would Fauci have done during the lockdowns with Flock cameras? Flock cameras are an upgrade to the governments "lockdown system" and the they will try to use them again for lockdown 2.0. I think Glenn makes a misstep when he says the cameras must be used constitutionally. There is no way to use them constitutionally - they record without a warrant by default. The only way these tools can conform to the constitution is to remove them and not use them. Lastly, FOX repeats the lie that Flock cameras data is deleted in 30 days. Flock contractually obligates clients keep cameras live and recording and has even turned them back on in municipalities that have tried to shut them down. Flock wants the data above all else and that implies they are keeping the data permanently and selling the data illegally.

A city in Oregon was forced to permanently remove its Flock cameras after an audit found that federal agencies had access to the system. The audit revealed that two federal agencies could access the data, including the ability to search the broader network of license plate records for up to six months. Flock cameras are used as a mass surveillance tool under the guise of public safety.

This is horrifying New information shows the Flock cameras wants to work with Uber and Lyft to have their millions of dash cams send all that live data back to flock “An incredibly dystopian Flock proposition just got leaked today. 404 Media released an article on it. Now, we all know Flock is bad, but even myself, I don't think we're cognizant on how much worse it could get and how quickly. In this leak, it detailed a presentation that Flock showed to the Georgia AG, trying to convince them to let them link to all Uber and Lyft cars, over three hundred and fifty thousand of them. Now, what you might not know is that every single Uber and Lyft has to have a live dash cam built into their car. So Flock wanted to link with those and have them start scanning plates and link it back to the Flock system. Now, this did not happen, but that's not to say it won't “ Uber and Lyft cameras already capture clear license-plate video and generate trillions of images Flock wanted to pull plate data and vehicle fingerprint details from those mobile cameras This would mean instead of only fixed pole-mounted ALPRs at intersections, you’d have 350,000+ to potentially millions of moving cameras filling gaps across cities and regions in near real time The ultimate mass surveillance live network

Genesee County uses Flock automated license plate reader cameras, but it refused to release key records about the system—including camera locations, audit logs and vehicle-scan records. The county claims Flock, a private contractor, owns the information. But the county’s own contract says Genesee County owns the data. Kettering University student Josh Tewolde is suing to enforce Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act. The case raises a straightforward question: Can government avoid transparency laws by routing public surveillance through a private vendor?

The Stingray, or cell site simulator, is very much like a Flock camera. It scoops up data from every phone within range, just as Flock cameras do with every car they can see (or detect by other means). And like Flock, the phone interceptors monitor everyone in "hopes" of catching a few bad guys (or so the excuse goes). How the courts don't find this a violation of privacy, I don't know. We will have to work on changing that, but in the meantime, we should be protesting to our municipalities to ban this practice along with Flock cameras.

They walked that back and now claim a perpetual license to citizen data (even after the contract cancellation).' 'Flock also removed a line from their terms and conditions that stated 'they do not own and cannot sell citizen information'. That line is now gone.'

The first time such a list has ever been released. Local cities and counties had previously denied requests for this information, citing Virginia's open records law and critical infrastructure protections. But now a federal lawsuit claims the city's use of these cameras violates Fourth Amendment rights, which protects against unreasonable search and seizures. The complaint filed The Flock system, filed in 2024, seeks to stop Norfolk's use of the Flock system and erase the data already collected.” Flock Cameras offer - Privacy Erosion and Mass Surveillance - Indiscriminate Data Collection - National Data Sharing - Unauthorized Access by Federal Agencies - Easy Exploitation for hacking, many using just a USB stick with no mandatory multi-factor authentication and credentials - Lack of Transparency and Oversight

Police officer uses Flock system to give an abuser location data on his victim ----- A San Jose Police officer accessed information on Flock and provided it to a suspect (the officer's family member) in a domestic violence situation, enabling the suspect to locate the victim. These are just a few of the illegal uses of Flock cameras that we find out about. How many "successful and undetected" illegal uses of the Flock system have there been? How many have resulted in sexual violence or even death that we simply don't know about? Sooner or later, we are going to see a death directly tied to the misuse of the Flock camera system. It's only a matter of time.

If Flock accuses me of a crime, will Flock also show up in court? Someone asked me that recently. Flock doesn't accuse a suspect. It provides objective data. Investigators use a myriad of evidence, from witness testimony to physical forensics. In San Juan Bautista, a two-year-old was killed. His mother fought off the attacker. The suspect fled, thinking he escaped. A Flock LPR found his vehicle heading into neighboring Merced County, where law enforcement arrested him. That evidence, specific, verifiable, one piece of a wider timeline, is exactly what will show up in court later this month.

The Flock-o-matic! This is pretty amazing. This system detects Flock camera signals, so that when you drive by a Flock camera, the device automatically blocks your license plate. Once you're out of range, your plate visibility returns to normal. I'm almost certain this is illegal to do, so I'm not recommending you do it, but I will certainly be looking for the follow-up video so we can see how it's done - for informational purposes only, of course. 😈 Source:

Please see this video and press release regarding Flock cameras in Knox County. Video transcript: Hello, this is Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs. Today, I am urging our Commission to prohibit the use of Flock cameras and similar devices in our County. For those of you who don't know, these cameras, technically called Automated License Plate Readers, are motion activated and take a picture of every car which passes by. While License Plate Readers have been around for a while, because of AI and vastly increased networking and data retention capacities, these Flock cameras have capabilities not even imagined in the past. Older cameras only took a photo of your license plate, which was then retained for a short time. Flock cameras take a photo of your place, but also use AI to catalogue distinguishing features of your vehicle: make, color, model, even bumper stickers. That data is stored in a searchable database for sometimes up to a month or more, depending on the policies of that particular agency. When these cameras are deployed in large numbers, they create a network that can be used to track your movements. Currently, there is no federal regulatory framework governing these devices in place, and the Tennessee laws regulating them were written over a decade ago. My fear is that may be inadvertantly creating a warrantless mass surveillance system and undermining the privacy and Liberty of our people. So I urge the Tennessee General Assembly and the United States Congress to look at this issue and take neccessary action to safeguard our privacy and civil liberties as these new technologies continue to emerge. Thank you.
