Flock Safety photographs every car that rolls past — plate, color, bumper sticker, time — then sells the trail. This is how you see the cameras, name them, and put them on the map.
No merch. No checkout. FluckFock is a field kit: how the cameras look, how people listen for them, and who already mapped the dragnet. If you want a hoodie, you came to the wrong pole.
We're not anti-police and not anti-technology. We're against an always-on tracking net rolled out street by street with no vote — and we think the antidote is knowledge anyone can pick up and use.
A camera network that tracks everyone should at minimum be public knowledge. We map it and document it in the open.
Receiving public radio signals and reading public records. No jamming, spoofing, tampering, or doxxing. The high ground is the point.
The counter to a hidden system is shared, replicable know-how — maps, cheap detectors, and plain docs any neighbor can use.
If you can see the pole, you can name the camera. A complete, verified walkthrough: recognize the hardware, build the $10 passive detector, use the maps, and understand the RF behind it.
Open the Field GuideFlock's Falcon-family cameras run their Wi-Fi radios in station mode and constantly send probe requests trying to phone home — even with their hotspot off. A cheap ESP32 in promiscuous mode, hopping channels 1 / 6 / 11, hears them. Pure listening: no deauth, no spoof, no jam.
Wildcard probe requests from known Flock hardware OUIs, confirmed by an 802.11 IE fingerprint. RSSI tells you how close.
Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3 (headless) or an ESP32-2432S028R "Cheap Yellow Display" (~$10). Flash open firmware; add a buzzer or GPS.
BLE is mostly disabled now; probes are intermittent and short-range; detection is worse at speed. RF is a lead, not proof.
RF alert → confirm with your eyes using the Field Guide → report the verified location to DeFlock / OSM.
Legal posture: passive reception of public Wi-Fi management frames is generally treated like running a Wi-Fi analyzer. Don't transmit, deauth, spoof MACs, or physically interfere. This is information, not legal advice — check your local law. Full board-by-board build lives in the Field Guide.
Public tools for mapping, identifying, routing around, and holding ALPR surveillance accountable. We're not affiliated with any of them — we point to the work.
Mass plate surveillance dressed up as public safety. This site documents it. It does not sell you a t-shirt about it. The name is intentional — a signal that always-on vehicle tracking deserves scrutiny and clear public documentation.
The highest-leverage five minutes you've got. Spot one, drop it on DeFlock, and the map gets better for everyone. No hardware needed.
