Lebanon Asked Flock 54 Questions — Deflock Lebanon
A Lebanon, Ohio civic investigation tracks the city's 20 Flock license-plate readers and the questions surrounding their operation.
Field notes
The project documents a surveillance system that the page says has been operating in Lebanon since March 2024, with 20 Falcon units recording vehicle attributes such as plate, state, make, body type, color, decals, and roof racks. It highlights local controls including disabled state and nationwide lookups, multifactor authentication, case-number requirements, and periodic audits. The central unresolved issue is whether the city can verify those settings inside Flock's proprietary software.
