Enter your license plate to see if it's one of the plates seen in the Flock searches we know about. The results do not show if a vehicle passed by any of the Flock cameras, but rather what searches of a license plate were performed by agencies that use Flock cameras. haveibeenflocked.com

There’s a degree to which “never speak ill of the dead” functions as yet another form, protective even after life, of elite impunity. There’s a karmic element as well, of course — but maybe we can get better at speaking facts re: the dead, even if they damn by implication.
