We understand there are questions about Flock Safety Cameras, and we want to address one of the most common misconceptions.
Flock cameras do not store personal information associated with your vehicle registration. They do not contain the owner’s name, address, driver’s license information, insurance information, or any other data maintained by the State of Georgia.
The cameras simply capture an image of a vehicle traveling on a public roadway, along with observable characteristics such as the license plate, vehicle make, model, color, and the date, time, and location the image was taken.
If, during a legitimate criminal investigation, an officer needs to determine the registered owner of a license plate, that information must be obtained through secure state or national law enforcement databases—just as it has been for decades. Flock does not replace those systems or provide unrestricted access to personal information.
Additionally, every search conducted within the Flock system is logged and auditable. Officers must have a legitimate law enforcement purpose to access the system, and misuse is subject to disciplinary action.
Our goal is simple: use proven technology to help recover stolen vehicles, locate missing persons, identify vehicles involved in crimes, and solve cases more quickly—while respecting the privacy and constitutional rights of everyone in our community.
We are committed to transparency and welcome questions from anyone who wants to learn more about how this technology is used to keep Covington safe.
