Besides the obvious privacy concern: at the very least in my state (Illinois), it's not lawful for public bodies to disclose the license plate numbers read from ALPR cameras, so this data set is necessarily incomplete.
But, give it a year or two, and you can replace this whole website with a black background and 72 point white bold text "YES".

Flock is a private company, right. That's the whole schtick. Like, Flock can retain records indefinitely for example, they may sell those records to the government but they're a private party.

What's your point? To the extent they're a private company you're even less likely to get access to records from Flock ALPR cameras.

They're not a public body, that was my point

Can’t wait for the Flock Equifax/SouthParkWereSorry-esque breach announcement any day. I should start a betting pool w my friends.

I love these kinds of sites, since they're indistinguishable from honeypots. Sure, have my license plate and the information that I'm worried about being watched.

With no other identifying info, though, what can they do with a license plate number in isolation?
rogerrogerrDec 6, 2025, 4:43 AM
Exactly - you can collect license plates numbers way easier than this. The best data they can really get is a connection to an IP address.

Who isn't worried about being watched? I am certainly not confident the government can tell their ass from their face, so anyone could be suspect.

Lmao I got honeypotted in h.s. by one of those 'does your crush like you' astrology sites
