>There are a limited number of companies that might be able to provide the sort of data the FBI is seeking. One of those is Flock, whose ALPR cameras are stationed in communities all across the country. According to data 404 Media and researchers have obtained through public records requests, Flock has at least 80,000 cameras connected to its national lookup tool. At one point, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a section of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); the Secret Service, and the Navy’s criminal investigation arm all had access to Flock’s nationwide network as part of a pilot program. As 404 Media revealed, local police have performed lookups in the Flock nationwide database on behalf of ICE.

>The other is Motorola Solutions, which acquired Vigilant Solutions. Motorola has a massive database of ALPR information built with cameras installed in police officer’s roaming vehicles. An arm of the company that sells to private industry has essentially outsourced image collection to repo men. In 2019, I reported on that part of the business, called Digital Recognition Network (DRN), and was shown how powerful its tracking capabilities can be. 404 Media reported last year that ICE recently invited staff to demos of a Motorola app that let officers scan a license plate and add it to a database of billions of records that show where else that vehicle has been spotted.
