This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Wouldnt it be wayyyy better if the government was forced to give you a reason as to why theyre stalking you, that was sent in the mail automatically? I understand that could harm longterm investigations but also it would help expose/prevent abuse.
Maybe dont rely on AI tools if youre building a massive case against someone
There's a simple solution. If they want to track/stalk you and dont want you to know, they can get a warrant. Obviously, this can still be abused, but now the guy stalking his ex has to get a judge to agree to stalking his ex which could backfire on the judge if the stalker decides to act on any flock/axon info.
They're already supposed to have a warrant before they do any searches. These articles are just confirmations of them violating your rights.
😂 It's less funny that people fall for this shit. Sadly, I almost once fell for a phone scam from indian scammers pretending to be from my bank to try and get my bank card numbers. Luckily I realized it once he was asking for card numbers. I work for a government entity and am getting constant phishing attempts
Thank you for checking your licence plate. Your action of checking your licence plate and the licence plate involved will be reported to the authorities for evaluation.
"New website let's drivers check their friends and neighbours cars because they can't mind their own fucking business."
Wait until you find out things like arrest records are public
Go Flock Yourself! Nice try.
I've invented a credit card fraud checker. Just reply to my comment with your credit card number and I'll let you know if it's been stolen.

All I see is *******
100% accurate results!
Accurate and guaranteed!
give my personal license plate to a third party website to check against privacy invasion
nah, y-you guys go first
There's a lot of could-be's involved here.
Exactly why i don't put the license plate on my car, can't let anyone see that sensitive information
I put in the plate from my previous car, and a few others I knew from random people. No results on any.
Edit: also, it doesn't have any fields for state or type of plate. Does this mean that Flock also confuses them?
So start feeding it lots of random 2 to 8 letter/number strings.
Start with "NOPLATE", "NCC1701", "XXX" and "NULL".
There might be others that have ended up in the news as a result of human (police or programmer) error, but just those four over fifty States is a good 200 to start with.
For Virginia (Number)-(3 digit number)L are local government vehicles and (number)-(3 digit number)S are state government vehicles. State police and those belonging to members of the General Assembly just have incrementing numbers.
Go drive/walk by your local police station and note all the plates of unmarked cars in the area. Many of them are likely police vehicles or private vehicles of employees. Do the same near a courthouse. Use those as fodder for this tool.
Something I find interesting about this is, there's no verification that you do indeed own the plate you're searching. I'm not sure what mischief you could get up to knowing that the police searched for information on someone else, but it's something to think about.
Honeypot as fuck
It also allows criminals to check if they are already under the eyes of the police. Want to do a drug run? Check if somebody has tracked your vehicle beforehand!
Ooh, that's a good point. Time to get a new car, they know about this one.
You just steal plates from another car. Bonus points if you can find the same model. Most people don't check their front and back every time they hop in - just snag their front plate and swap.
That's a risky move though, if you get caught driving a car with stolen plates, you're in trouble.
Someone must have nicked my mine and swapped them
I prefer that to there being some requirement that you provide identification to access the audit logs. Actually, what I would really prefer would be for there to be no need for audit logs in the first place, if there were no system to be audited.
The first thing that came to my mind also.
This sounds like another privacy nightmare put on top of the already more than questionable Flock installations.
On the website it says the data only goes back to December 2025
We need more shit like this.
