What is flock?

If you click into the website the op shared you'll easily find out. Flock is a network of automated license plate readers.

A key piece of information is that they freely share data with police and ICE. It’s marketed as a”safety” tool but really it’s a mass surveillance tool that will be used to commit crimes against humanity.

License plate cameras that they're using to track people. Police in Texas just recently used the Flock system to track a woman who went out of state to get an abortion. Actually terrifying stuff.
