A New Website Just Revealed Whether Cops Secretly Searched Your License Plate

Flock's own CEO once compared his privacy critics to Antifa, and he only apologized for it this week.

Now a website built from public records is proving exactly why Americans stopped trusting him.

What it found inside one search log should scare every driver in the country.

Have I Been Flocked Just Showed America What Cops Search For

A new site called Have I Been Flocked just went live, and it does something Flock Safety never wanted to make easy.

It lets any American type in their license plate and see whether a police search ever touched it.

Volunteers built the list by filing open records requests with more than sixty five hundred police agencies nationwide.

One entry already making the rounds shows a South Carolina police officer who got fired after using Flock to search her ex-boyfriend's plate 166 times.

That is not a hypothetical misuse case.

That is the exact nightmare privacy advocates have been warning about since the first camera went up on a pole.

The site cannot tell you every time your car passed a camera, only whether someone actually ran a search on your plate.

Even that picture is incomplete, because plenty of agencies still redact or withhold their logs.

What it can already show is enough to explain why the backlash has not slowed down.

The Surveillance Network Behind That Website Reaches Every State

Founder and CEO Garrett Langley built Flock into the largest license plate camera network in the country, and he did it one police contract at a time.

The company now runs more than 120,000 of these cameras, all feeding into a single searchable database.

Illinois police departments alone gave federal agents access to more than five thousand of them.

That is what pushed cities as different as Boulder, Colorado and Cambridge, Massachusetts to cut ties with the network entirely.

None of this is a knock on federal agents doing their jobs.

It is a knock on a private company that built the pipeline, and on the local politicians who hooked it up without asking a single voter first.

Americans have seen this movie before.

The Patriot Act was sold as a narrow tool against terrorists, and it grew into a domestic surveillance program nobody voted for.

Flock followed the same playbook with a corporate logo instead of a federal seal.

Flock's CEO and Denver's Mayor Are Learning the Same Hard Lesson

Long before this year's backlash, Langley told an interviewer that DeFlock, the privacy group organizing much of the pushback, was a "terroristic organization" closer to Antifa than anything else.

He did not walk that back until this week.

"I made a mistake by referring to people in the DeFlock group as terrorists," he admitted.

"I was wrong to say that, and I should have cleared this up a long time ago," he added.

He also slashed data retention down to seven days from thirty, and started requiring police to enter a case code before every search.

Denver's Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston learned a version of the same lesson the hard way.

He signed off on a $498,500 extension, a figure picked specifically to stay just under the half million dollar mark that would have sent the deal to a council vote.

Nine members of his own council signed a letter accusing him of running the city in a way they called flatly "undemocratic."

Rank and file Americans in red towns and blue towns both got fed up enough to fight back long before this website ever existed.

The officials forcing these contracts through without a public vote keep turning out to be the same kind of big city Democrat who never met a surveillance budget he did not like.

They are the same voters who watched globalization gut their towns once already and were told it would make life better too.

Have I Been Flocked just handed them the proof.
