About Have I Been Flocked?
Have I Been Flocked is an accountability project covering the deployment of automated license plate reader (ALPR) surveillance across the United States. haveibeenflocked.com publishes audit-log data and automated tracking reports drawn from Flock system records, giving the public a verifiable, ongoing account of where and how the technology is being used.
Its editorial section, footnote4a.org, extends that work into longer-form investigation and analysis of the broader surveillance ecosystem and the legal frameworks governing government use of private mass-surveillance infrastructure. Coverage tracks use and misuse of surveillance systems and related policy and litigation.
The audience spans investigative journalists and researchers using the data for their own reporting, civil-liberties advocates and litigators building cases, legislators, and community members seeking a factual record of what their government is deploying and how they are using it.
