Feeling lucky?
Sends you to a real community page with a documented Flock deployment record on file. Never the same place twice in a row if we can help it.
🐦 Flock Roulette
One real fact at a time, pulled straight out of the datasets on this site — a documented community, a mapped-camera count, a transcribed contract, a state ranking or a freshly re-verified record. Nothing here is estimated or invented.
🏆 America's Most Flocked
Two separate evidence layers, kept apart on purpose. Camera counts describe where volunteers mapped hardware. Deployment records describe agencies documented in public records. Neither is a per-capita rate — we hold no population data, so we don't rank on it.
Mapped ALPR camera points whose coordinates fall inside the municipal boundary. Location only — never ownership.
Count of documented agency ALPR deployment records on file for the community.
Total documented agency ALPR deployment records across the state.
Total mapped ALPR camera points matched into municipalities in that state.
Your license plate has a more active travel history than you do.
💰 Flockonomics
Dollar figures, agencies and dates below are transcribed from the linked government document. The jokes are ours. The numbers are theirs.
$30,000 per year (all 10 cameras)
Caldwell Police Department
Caldwell, IdahoYour tax dollars hard at work teaching poles to read.
City of Caldwell — Resolution 41-25 ↗Not to exceed $50,500 annually
Sonoma Police Department
Sonoma, CaliforniaLine item: vibes, annualized.
City of Sonoma — Council agenda item, Flock contract amendment ↗The receipts pile is small because each figure has to be pulled from an actual signed document before it appears here. Know of one we're missing? Send it over.
🗺️ Where's Flocko?
Five clues, all pulled from public records already on this site, getting easier as you go. Guess the community out loud — nobody is scoring you. We're not the ones keeping records on you.
