Home improvement stores are finding ways to share data from their Flock license plate reader cameras with law enforcement, according to public records.

The article itself is from August, but after seeing Flock cameras at a local Lowe’s store that were missing from the DeFlock map, I thought it’d be worth bringing increased attention to such companies contributing to the propagation of Flock cameras. If there’s a Home Depot or Lowe’s near you that’s not on the DeFlock map already, it might just not have been added yet.

    The Australian equivalent got into trouble for trying something similar (without the flock integration) recently.
    Kmart too.

      You still have Kmart in Australia? They went bankrupt in the US. I have fond memories going there as a child in the ’80s and ’90s but it went downhill in the new millennium.
