    Giannoulias launched his investigation into Flock in June, after reports circulated that a Texas sheriff had accessed Illinois’ license plate data to possibly track down a woman who went to Illinois for abortion care.

    and

    The city terminated its contract with the controversial license plate reader company after reports from Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias in late August that U.S. Customs and Border Protection had access to Flock’s nationwide network of license plate cameras, sparking outrage nationwide.

    Yep, I see no reason to arm our government with weapons that it will unethically use against us.

      I found one but it’s not on the map. To add cameras to their map, one will need an OpenStreetMap account FYI. I’ll probably do that soon to add the ones I find.

      Their website has pics to help identify them - the one I found is exactly as pictured with the large vertical oval shaped black camera module
