The Flock Safety System: What You Need to Know

What is the Flock System?
The Flock Safety System is an innovative tool that uses License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology to help law enforcement solve and deter crime. As a criminal defense attorney, understanding how this system works is critical when evaluating evidence involving vehicle identification.

How Does It Work?
Flock cameras capture vehicle details, including license plates, make, model, and unique features, like decals or roof racks. This data is matched against “hotlists” of vehicles flagged for criminal investigations, sending real-time alerts to law enforcement if a match is found. The Flock Safety System captures clear images day or night, stores data for up to 30 days to protect privacy, and is used by neighborhoods, businesses, and police to improve safety and prevent crime.

Why Does It Matter for Criminal Defense?
As this technology becomes more common, it plays a critical role in cases involving stolen vehicles, traffic violations, or more serious crimes. However, challenges such as data accuracy, retention policies, and privacy concerns can impact how LPR evidence is used in court.

If your case involves evidence from a Flock Safety System, it’s essential to scrutinize its reliability and how the data was obtained and interpreted.
