Stop Flock is a public-interest transparency project focused on automated license plate reader systems, government contracts, roadside installations, data-sharing practices, and public accountability.
Why this exists
Public roads should not mean invisible public records.
Automated license plate reader systems can record vehicle plates, time, location, vehicle characteristics, and other metadata. Stop Flock focuses on the public records behind those systems: who operates them, where they are installed, what contracts govern them, how long data is retained, and who can access it.
This project does not publish captured plate data or individual travel histories. The focus is infrastructure, policy, contracts, permits, oversight, and government accountability.
What we track
Contracts
Vendor agreements, renewals, grant funding, invoices, amendments, and procurement records.
Data Practices
Retention, deletion, sharing, outside-agency access, audits, and vendor access.
Permits
TDOT applications, licenses, location exhibits, roadside reviews, and state ROW authorization.
Tennessee project
Starting in Hamilton County.
Our initial records work is focused on Chattanooga, Collegedale, Hamilton County, and ALPR installations located on Tennessee Department of Transportation right-of-way.
The goal is to build a verifiable public inventory from official records, not assumptions: camera by camera, contract by contract, and permit by permit.

Community tips
Report an ALPR camera.
If you see a roadside ALPR camera, send the location and a photo if you can safely obtain one. Do not stop in traffic, enter restricted property, or interfere with equipment.
Important
Stop Flock is an informational and public-record transparency project. It does not provide legal advice, does not encourage tampering with public or private equipment, and does not publish confidential captured plate data or individual travel histories.
