What this means for drivers in North Carolina

Flock Safety ALPR cameras don't just watch for stolen cars. Every plate they read is time-stamped and location-tagged, and the data is shared across a network accessible to police, and in some cases to other agencies. With 2,922 of them mapped in North Carolina, most drivers pass several on a typical trip. Learn how Flock cameras work →
