One of the most prolific criminals in all of San Francisco tells @adam22 that “crime in San Francisco is over with” because of Flock cameras + drones. He complains that he can’t even do drivebys anymore.
It’s simple: when the risk of getting caught is too high, crime plummets.

A woman was found dead before dawn near Temple TX. By that evening, her suspected killer was in handcuffs, run down by everything from bloodhounds to drones.
Cops are called to a home and find her there. Texas Rangers take the case, quickly name a suspect and put out word on his car. Shortly after, a Flock license plate camera catches his car driving by and alerts police within seconds. With his exact location in hand, officers can head straight for him, sparing other drivers from traffic stops and other people from suspicion.
Officers race to the spot, where he trades gunfire with them, then runs for the woods.
A DPS pilot circles overhead and keeps him in sight, drones keep eye on him through the treetops. Down in the brush, riders on horseback follow tracking dogs working his scent until they catch him.
Police tools, from dogs to horses to drones to ALPRs, help police catch dangerous people faster while leaving law-abiding citizens alone. That’s good for public safety and for civil liberties.

A great article in defense of the critical importance of Automatic License Plate Readers to law enforcement and public safety. It’s ironic that many of the same politicians who raced to support the now discredited ‘Defund the Police’ movement are once again showing their anti-police bias in their rush to get on the soon-to-be derailed and discredited anti-Flock movement. Kudos to the authors of this important research.

there’s so much confusion about what’s happening in AI because if you don’t use coding models every day it’s hard to understand how quickly progress is accelerating but if you do, you likely have AI psychosis to a degree that it’s impossible to explain it in an understandable way

Today in @PostOpinions, @Rafa_Mangual and I lay out the case for keeping the ALPRs up.
Flock cameras are a useful tool for saving lives. Legitimate concerns should be addressed through regulation—not bans.

Glad they caught this lady. Running over a puppy on purpose? Max sentencing please.

ICYMI—I have a piece reacting to last week’s Flock camera hearing over at @realDailyWire: “While the harshest critiques and most sensational anecdotes took center stage, the hearing room lacked reasoned counterarguments and important context.”

friend of ours had their car stolen in the Mission
While the police were taking my friends report, Flock ALPR’s spotted the car downtown and they were able to retrieve it.
I wonder what would have happened without Flock! At the very least it would have taken much longer

After Austin switched off its Flock license plate cameras in June 2025, car theft rose 24% when measured against trends in comparable cities.
Austin's auto theft came in above expectations every month for the following year. About 776 more stolen cars than there otherwise would be.

“Police utilized Flock cameras to track down the killer…”
Add it to the long list of reasons to reject the insane calls to ban this technology.
Yes, there’s a potential for misuse. But regulation is the more appropriate response. For more: manhattan.institute/article/…

Flock Camera Alert Help #Wauwatosa Police Catch Accused Child Rapist:
A Flock license plate camera alert led Wauwatosa police to a suspect now charged with repeatedly sexually assaulting a child, the department announced Thursday. Officers had taken a report of a child sexual assault.
While investigators worked the case, the suspect’s vehicle triggered a Flock alert, which helped officers locate it and arrest the suspect, the department said in a Facebook post.
The suspect was charged with repeated first-degree sexual assault of a child. “When someone is wanted in connection with a serious crime, locating them matters,” the department wrote.

"I think they need to put more Flock cameras up. I think that they should be everywhere."
Thanks to Flock, a mom's carjacked sons were recovered in 45 minutes.
The unnamed Hopewell, Va., woman was visiting a friend with her two sons—a one-month-old and a 3-year-old with autism.
When she looked away, a man jumped into her vehicle and took off.
Flock ALPRs tracked him; within minutes, Richmond police chief Jake Edwards said, they "find those kids safe, and we end up making an arrest of an individual."
"I think they need to put more Flock cameras out. I think that should be everywhere," the mom told local news. "What if it was your child that was missing and the only way for someone to locate their car within a reasonable time before anything to happen was cameras that was put around the city that don't nobody know about?"

A woman visiting family in Richmond, VA had her car jacked with her two babies still inside. Police used their Flock camera network to narrow the search area and found the vehicle, and children within 45 minutes.
This is good. We should not stop the police from doing this.
