They watch. We watch Back.
Automated license-plate readers log where you drive, when, and how often, then share it across agencies without a warrant. Eyes Off is merch that says so out loud. Wear it, stick it, plant it.

Wear it. Stick it. Plant it.
On liberty // Est. 1755
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Notice to all residents. Re: automated license plate readers in your neighborhood.
You're not a suspect.
License-plate readers don't care whether you've done anything. They log every car, every time, and keep it. Then agencies you'll never meet can search it. Eyes Off makes that visible before everyone just gets used to it.

The system // What they run
It's not just your plate.
No plate required
Make, model, color, bumper stickers, roof racks, dents, even a temporary paper plate. Flock says it can pick your car out without ever reading the tag.

Flock's own product page: search license plates alongside police records (RMS/CAD), jail records, public records, and video, all from a single screen.

Marketed to flag "screaming," then quietly reworded to "distress" after EFF published on it. Always-on mics, expanding beyond gunshots to human voices.

A separate vendor is selling ALPR add-ons that read the signals your phone, AirPods, and smartwatch broadcast, to "identify suspects through the devices they carry."

The receipts // This already happened
"Had an abortion. Search for female."
That's how many cameras one Texas query reached while hunting a woman who had an abortion. It spanned 6,809 networks nationwide, including states where it's legal. The search note was logged in Flock's own system.
Broken by 404 Media; confirmed by EFF and a U.S. House oversight letter, 2025.
And the errors don't stay in a database. The Institute for Justice found at least 24 innocent drivers stopped, jailed, or held at gunpoint over a camera mistake. In nearly two of three cases, police drew their guns before they realized the error.
Brittney Gilliam
Held face-down on the pavement with her kids after the system matched her SUV to a stolen motorcycle from another state.

Cuffed at her own home, her 2-year-old put in a patrol car, her vehicle impounded for three weeks.
ALPR match, unverifiedJaclynn Gonzales
Detained at gunpoint; her 12-year-old sister was placed in a patrol vehicle. A "2" read as a "7."
Wrong plateBrian Hofer
Detained over a car that had already been recovered, but was never cleared off the hot list.
$49,500 settlementJason Burkleo
Ordered face-down at gunpoint on his way to work. The reader misread an "H" as an "M."

Abuse of power // Stalker cams
Build the database. Watch it get abused.
Documented cases of officers using license-plate readers to stalk romantic partners: exes, dates, and the people those people date. The count keeps climbing. Most were caught only after a victim reported them.
Institute for Justice review; 404 Media, "Cops Keep Getting Arrested for Using Flock to Stalk People," 2026.
Albany, Georgia
Five officers were fired and arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for using the city's Flock cameras outside police work. Charges: misuse of license-plate data and violation of oath of office.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Searched Flock 179 times to track a woman he was dating and her ex. Charged with misconduct in public office; agreed to resign. Caught only when a victim looked herself up on haveibeenflocked.com.
Holiday Hills, Illinois
A sitting police chief tracked six people he knew personally, one man 140 times, on and off duty. Charged with two counts of official misconduct, a Class 3 felony.
Orange City, Florida
Ran his ex-girlfriend's plate about 69 times in one summer, plus her mother's and father's. A colleague saw him doing it and told him to stop. He didn't. Charged with stalking and improper computer access.
