Charlotte, NC, August 14, 2026 —

A newly launched website, HaveIBeenFlocked.com, is providing drivers with a way to determine if their license plates have been scanned by Flock Group’s surveillance cameras. The site aims to bring transparency to the use of this technology, which has become increasingly prevalent in cities like Charlotte and beyond.

The data available on HaveIBeenFlocked.com is compiled through numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Analysis of this data indicates that common reasons for license plate searches by Flock cameras include investigations into drug-related incidents and motor vehicle theft.

The deployment and use of Flock surveillance cameras have been a subject of considerable controversy. Critics have voiced concerns regarding the potential for misuse of the technology by law enforcement agencies and questions about its accessibility for immigration enforcement purposes. These concerns highlight a broader debate about digital surveillance and privacy rights.

In response to some of these concerns and to enhance system integrity, Flock has announced plans for upcoming changes to its systems. These planned updates are intended to introduce mechanisms that will flag abnormal search behavior, potentially offering a layer of oversight for the data collected.

The website’s existence serves as a tool for individuals seeking to understand how their vehicle information might be accessed through automated license plate reader technology. The ongoing discussion surrounding these cameras and the data they generate is expected to continue as more information becomes publicly available.
