Flock Safety cameras are scanning license plates across America, recording where and when vehicles are seen and allowing law enforcement agencies to search a massive shared network.
In this episode, we investigate how Flock's automated license plate readers (ALPRs) work, what information they collect, how agencies share and search that data, and reported cases of the technology being misused.
Flock says its cameras help police solve crimes and find missing people. Critics warn the same technology could create something far more powerful: a nationwide surveillance system capable of reconstructing where vehicles have traveled.
So how much can Flock really see, who can access that information, and could police track your car across America?
