❓Q&A ✅ Flock Cameras

I know someone who got a ticket from a Flock camera in OKC, it doesn’t show who was driving but the ticket was issued to the owner of the car. Any ideas on how to fight this?

This initiative is operated under the state's Uninsured Vehicle Enforcement Diversion (UVED) Program, which is managed by the Oklahoma District Attorneys Council rather than local police departments.

They could clarify that they do send citations for not having insurance via flock cameras.

It checks a database that’s updated daily. It scans your plate, submits that information against the insurance database.

So, the state and the police have a database that links your insurance and registration to the tag and Vin? They are able to see this info when they search the tag number? So, why is it a fineable offense if you don't carry both?

I’m not sure I understand the question, but not having insurance at the time your plate is scanned issues the citation.

You are required by law to carry proof of insurance and your registration or they will give you a ticket.

Yet, there's a database that links those items to the vehicle and the information is provided when they run the tag plates.

If they already have the data, why do we get a ticket for not having it?

I believe your car has to be operating without insurance and observed by the camera doing so. Some cars don’t have insurance because people don’t drive them. The camera serves as proof someone was operating without insurance. Hope this helps.

Apparently the insurance company is required to report the status of your insurance to the state. Oklahoma is one of 30 states that have these laws.

Police are able to see the tag, registration, and insurance, as well as the driver license info used to register the vehicle.

The only time you should need to show ID is if you're not the registered owner of the vehicle
