Proton publishes database of 300,000 Flock license plate readers

The map provides a window into the scale of private surveillance, pinpointing the locations of over 300,000 cameras across the United States. Michael compiled the information using data obtained from a recent leak, a move that prompted Flock to initiate trademark enforcement actions against him. While the map offers a rare look at the footprint of these devices, the version hosted by Proton serves as a static snapshot from December 2025. Consequently, the visualization does not account for any hardware installed or removed by the company in the months following that date.
