HaveIBeenFlocked Opens 4.6 Million-Plate Database to Expose 242 Million Flock Searches

Summary
More than 4.6 million license plate records tied to roughly 242 million Flock system searches are now searchable on HaveIBeenFlocked.com, letting drivers check whether their plate was manually queried.
Audit logs made public through records requests and transparency portals power the tool, which says it shows customer searches—not every plate captured by Flock cameras—and discards plate numbers users enter.
Months- or years-long delays and incomplete, sometimes redacted logs limit the database, so the site says it is not a real-time or comprehensive monitor of Flock activity.
Flock’s camera network, used by police, schools, communities and businesses, has drawn scrutiny after 46 officers were charged or accused of unauthorized use; CEO Garrett Langley has apologized and promised safeguards.
