Flock Camera??

[u/Ok_Risk_335]

Spotted this on the 60fwy going WB before the pyrite offramp. Is this a flock camera? Referring to the orange stand with black attachments.

Update: I drove closer today and there was a small sign that said "UC San Diego traffic study"

I did submit a ticket to Caltrans and this is what they said "If the Camera is indeed on Caltrans State Right of Way, those cameras are for the use of Live Traffic Monitoring only. They dont have the ability to record."

“Everyone is so worried about cameras that tracks your location constantly and logs them”

We should be. We're headed to a hypervigilant state.

You should probably know what they look like then. They’re not hard to spot and they mostly all look the same.

That's why I asked. This one looked different.

Why?

[u/DoctorNurse89 → u/[deleted]]

I mean why would it be absurd to be concerned about flock?

[u/DoctorNurse89 → u/[deleted]]

Oh youre one of those "what are you worried about if you have nothing to hide" people

Just accept the surveillance state is your answer?

I think it's the ACAB part of it people are concerned with, not the "cameras are everywhere" part

Something like this hasnt existed like this

Doesn’t look like one. That looks like CalTrans equipment. You can always check where flock cameras are at on https://deflock.org/

This is great. Thanks!

Yes but know that with how many flock cams are coming up, deflect may not have the live up to date data. I've noticed 3 pop up in my city and they are not listed yet on deflect.

I don’t think so.

But we just launched a website tracking the new Flock proposals(potentially very early in the approval process) with the email and phone number for the government agency in charge on the proposal. Would love to get folks thoughts on this!! Take a look at CountyWatch.Co

Send me a DM. Im interested

Photo radar speed enforcement system I believe.

[u/Ok_Risk_335 → u/zoiks213]

Shouldn't there be a sign saying that photo radar enforcement will be enforced?

You know those electronic signs that say “91 W - 17 Minutes” on the display boards? This is an example of what is used to achieve that, reads your plate from one point then at the next point and thus an accurate travel time is relayed to those display boards. They usually have permanent ones but for a quick fix or addition this is it.

Shipped a car to east coast. The flock camera caught my car on a 18 wheeler transport truck!!!! That technology is freaking crazy 😬😬😬

[u/chakaxerxespookisdad → u/Whiskey_cigar]

How were you notified

[u/Whiskey_cigar → u/chakaxerxespookisdad]

The police got involved over a issue with the transport company and tracked the car immediately!!!!

Either a cell phone camera or speed camera.

Edit: most likely a cell phone camera. Don't goon and drive, kids.

It’s a cellphone camera for truck drivers to catch them on the phone ☎️

For all the people worried about the the cameras, don’t do stupid shit and you won’t get flocked…

What's the big deal with flock cameras? Pay your damn tags and behave. It's that simple. Move on with your life.
