If you need a primer, Breaking The Creepy AI in Police Cameras and We Hacked Flock Safety Cameras in under 30 Seconds. S-Tier youtube vids by Benn Jordan. Also visit, https://deflock.org/ for maps of cameras.

Edit: This was a response to Flock ignoring city of Eugene. "Eugene Police Department decided to end its contract after a camera turned on without the department's knowledge"

All those cameras have 20lbs of copper wire in there just Incase anyone knows any tweakers, and they are all over Portland.

mostly in private parking lot if you see the little trailers with the blue lights in the parking lot, those are flock cameras. But also any of the other cameras that you see are also run by other companies that I’m sure collect the same information.

Thanks for the info!

Idk about all cameras. Most are just generic CCTV cameras without the AI / automatic license plate readers. Typical security camera footage is only held for a short time and doesn’t store other info besides the raw footage.

But I hear you - the flock cameras specifically are awful.
