Flock cameras have been a controversial issue in many parts of the country, including Central Florida.
Law enforcement agencies have credited the license plate readers with helping them nab criminals and find missing people.
However, critics argue that the cameras instead constitute an invasion of privacy, with some people even taking direct action to interfere with them.

While the debate continues, a database has been set up that apparently shows users whether their license plate information has been tracked in Flock’s system.
To do so, users simply have to visit the website — Have I Been Flocked? — and type in their license plate number.
However, even if no searches are found, that doesn’t mean that the license plate hasn’t been searched.
According to the database, its dataset relies on audit logs obtained via public records requests — meaning it’s not fully complete.

As such, users can verify whether their plate has been searched by reaching out to local law enforcement agencies and asking for Flock audit logs. Furthermore, these logs can be contributed to the website’s database.
