Does anyone know more about these devices? Some are obviously cameras, but the others are likely some radio scanning, potentially BLE, but I don't know. Anyone know?

Dunno if you’re in America but here’s a site with a map of known flock cameras if you want to check if that one is part of the network

    I do not believe it's a flock though. I'm not even sure it's an alpr, but it likely is.

    It also is mobile, so do I bother marking it on deflock?

    Edit: the main picture is not mobile, but there are variants including my other comment that are mobile.

    Hopefully it can stay up. Reportedly Flock has been very aggressive about trying to take these sites down with DMCA complaints toward hosting providers and things like that.

    I cannot get out of my neighborhood without passing a Flock camera. This pisses me TF off.

    But there have been successes. In some cities in Oregon, California, other states too. The community has come together to put pressure on the city government to cancel the contracts. We don't have to accept this. We can fight back against dragnet surveillance. It takes community effort and grassroots organization but we can do it.
