YouTuber builds Flock-style cop-tracking system, then police show up

A YouTuber built an automated license-plate recognition system modeled on Flock Safety's logic but aimed at police vehicles. According to the video, officers visited his home asking what he planned to do with the collected data. His identity and the responding department have not been independently verified.

• System mirrors Flock Safety ALPR logic but targets police vehicles
• Flock stores plate data in AWS Government Cloud, deleting it on a 7-day cycle
• ALPR records can map where people live, work or seek care without suspicion
• Flock added shorter retention, search audit logs and sharing limits
