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 deflock site doesn’t show any cameras at my closest HD but I don’t know if this means that they respect their customers slightly more than Lowe’s or if it means the site just hasn’t been updated yet. I’ll have to make a point of looking the next time I’m up that way.

    Same here. I’d like to think that there don’t exist here but I’ll bet they do it’s just that no one has updated the map.
