Flock Cameras: Where Your License Plate Data Really Goes

Flock cameras may sit in your town, but the data they collect can travel far beyond it. Host Emily Laird follows the network behind automated license plate readers, from National Lookup and cross-agency sharing to hundreds of thousands of searches conducted by departments that local communities never directly approved. The episode examines cases in California, Illinois, and Wisconsin where settings, access controls, public records laws, and basic account security collided with the promise of local oversight. The reality check is simple: you can turn off a camera, but you cannot easily pull back data that has already entered the network. ❓HAVE YOU BEEN FLOCKED? https://haveibeenflocked.com/   🎯 JOIN THE AI WEEKLY MEETUPS https://www.uwstout.edu/ai-weekly-meetup   📩 EMAIL REMINDERS FOR THE MEETUPS https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/2101263/1779703/   💬 CONNECT WITH EMILY LAIRD ON LINKEDIN http://www.linkedin.com/in/meet-emily-laird
