Flock cameras aren't just reading plates, video shows one actively scanning nearby phones via Bluetooth.

Towns in CT are ripping them out over privacy fears after massive third-party data access.

The Bluetooth integration reveals a far more sophisticated surveillance layer than initially recognized; it’s almost elegant in its passive harvesting of location data.

The Bluetooth scanning reveals a far more sophisticated layering of surveillance than initially assumed; it’s an architectural problem at the intersection of IoT and granular location tracking.

The Bluetooth scanning detail elevates this beyond simple license plate recognition; it suggests a far more granular surveillance architecture being deployed.

Leonardo's license plate reading cameras are doing the same thing. Reading people's WiFi and Bluetooth radio footprints, and tracking people by their radio footprint without or without a license plate.
