Now They Are Making Flock Cameras That Can Fly and Read License Plates From 2,000 Feet Away

The next time you go for a drive, you might want to look up. The company that put thousands upon thousands of automated license plate readers in communities all over America is now putting them in the sky. Flock Alpha drones can travel at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour, and they can read license plates from 2,000 feet away. These drones are being marketed as “first responders”, and they have the potential to be far more intrusive than automated license plate readers that are simply mounted on the side of the road.

Of course Flock automated license plate readers don’t just read license plates.

According to DeFlock, these highly sophisticated surveillance devices are actually “AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time”…

DeFlock, a national organization, says automated license plate readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are “AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time” and collect the data (which includes identifying details like dents or bumper stickers) “regardless or whether the driver is suspected of a crime.”

In addition, Flock cameras also make a record of the exact make, model, color and body type of your vehicle.

If your vehicle has any aftermarket modifications, roof racks, bumper stickers, decals or visible body damage all of that is recorded too.

Are you starting to understand why so many people consider these cameras to be extremely intrusive?

According to CNN, there are more than 120,000 Flock cameras actively operating in the United States right now.

All of the information that they collect is entered into a searchable national database that has so much potential to be abused.

To prevent damage to your license plate, you might consider one of those clear covers that you see on some cars. To prevent UV damage, there are even tinted covers. Also, having a selection of magnetic bumper stickers that you rotate might be interesting.

if they’re doing this and I believe they are than the people who spot them need to take them down and destroy them.

Agreed Greyman tactics now apply to your vehicle. Can you alter your car’s gait? LOL! Maybe induce a wobble, swap some tires on/off? Bumper-stickers is one way, they were specifically mentioned in the articles about AI tracking using those.

  Think about it though Brother it doesn’t matter what you do because the majority will bring your downfall because they will spotlight your resistance by their conformity which is why defensive measures only work when you have more people than they can track resisting them…Which brings us back around to what Ive been beating the drum on and that is We need our own Homeland again…

Many police departments have license plate scanners on their squads. Tow trucks involved with repos also have the scanners. Some billboards have them. That information goes to marketing companies and the NSA. All plate info goes to the NSA and put in your algorithm.

  Yea which is why trying to hide is pointless the old ways don’t work in a surveillance state but can’t get people to grasp that at all because it doesn’t fit their narrative..

I wonder if these flock camera people understand that we can actually find out where they live….

Weren’t the “Terminator” movies and ‘Skynet’ supposed to be a fun weekend sci-fi getaway? Good grief!

I thought about making something that would hide my license plate from these cameras but I do know NC has a law about “Cover or conceal license plate” so it will require a bit of thought.
The article did mention magnetic stickers, these can be rotated around everyday to confuse the AI.
Also thought about some magnetic letters/numbers to put on my license plate to make it look different and of course, good old mud works well too.

  GPS, blue tooth, internet, SiriusXM radio…unless one does a Ted Kaczyinski to avoid living in the modern world; they got you 24X7X365 if they want. Stratagem is evolving, or accept and charge.
