Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

It's not just Flock: https://deflock.org/identify
Any cities dropping Flock may well just switch to a similar vendor doing the same thing.
They are switching to flocks og investor, Axon.
Also, Trump and his cronies invested in Axon heavily a couple of years ago. Honestly Flock seems like it's just going to be a scapegoat and they hope no one will notice Axon doing the same thing. Stay vigilant folks!
Thanks. I was looking for another name.
