About Who Flocks Me

Who Flocks Me maps automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras — who put them up, who can search them, and what happens to your data once it's captured. No paywall, no login, no ads.

Why this exists

Most drivers have no idea how many cameras log their plate on an average trip, or how far that data can travel once it's collected. This project makes that visible: a documented, sourced map of camera locations, ownership where it's on the public record, and plain-language explanations of what agencies can actually do with the data.

Who's behind it

This project is run by Andy Parrish, Trempealeau County Supervisor, who also publishes a daily Wisconsin government briefing. It grew out of the original Flock Footprint project at AndyParrish.org.

Where the data comes from

Camera locations come from DeFlock, a volunteer-mapped, openly-licensed dataset built on OpenStreetMap — not from Flock Safety or any police department. Claims about ownership, retention, and misuse are sourced individually and linked throughout the site; see the ownership section on the homepage for citations.

How it's funded

Reader support only — no ads, no paywall. Contributions go toward records requests, FOIA fees, and the ongoing work of verifying camera data.
