Frequently Asked Questions

What are some examples of Flock abuse?

A Kansas police chief used Flock to track his ex-girlfriend. He did not face any charges. [source]
Georgia police chief charged with using license plate readers to stalk and harass people. [source]

But Flock said they stopped sharing data with ICE.

They said they don't in July 2025 [source], but open records request showed that as of August 2025, ICE and CBP have indirect access even in some states where collaboration between police and ICE is illegal [source].

The main problem is that there is no transparency on the data once it gets uploaded to Flock's private servers. They've lied before. Why should we trust them now?
