Are Flock Cameras Tracking Way More Than Your License Plate?
Flock cameras are not what you think they are. They're not just license plate readers. They're a nationwide signals intelligence gathering platform — and the police don't own or control any of the data.
Noah Williams, a senior cybersecurity engineer specializing in identity and access management, joins John Curley to break down exactly what these cameras are collecting every time you drive by one: your license plate, the make and model of your car, the MAC addresses from your phone, your Apple Watch, your car's infotainment system, and any other radio-emitting device you're carrying. Combined, that data creates a digital fingerprint of your life — your movements, your associations, your habits — stored in a central database that Flock owns and can sell.
