A presentation obtained through a public records request is drawing new attention to the potential expansion of Flock Safety’s license plate surveillance network beyond its traditional roadside cameras.
According to reporting by 404 Media, the presentation outlined a proposed partnership between Flock Safety and dashcam company Nexar that could have incorporated data from as many as 350,000 devices associated with Uber, Lyft and other delivery-service drivers.
Flock Safety told 404 Media that the partnership with Nexar was never implemented.
The presentation was reportedly prepared for the Georgia Attorney General’s Office in August 2025 and later obtained through a public records request by a Georgia resident.
The document described Flock’s existing network of cameras used by businesses and homeowners associations before referencing the proposed Nexar partnership.
“Plus Nexar partnership which includes 350k Uber/Lyft and other delivery service devices,” the presentation stated, according to 404 Media.
Had the partnership moved forward as described, it would have represented a significant change from Flock’s traditional automatic license plate reader system.
Flock cameras are generally installed at fixed locations and capture information about passing vehicles, including license plates and vehicle characteristics. A system incorporating dashcams in rideshare or delivery vehicles could instead collect vehicle information while those vehicles traveled through different communities.
Nexar sells dashboard cameras to a variety of drivers, including rideshare workers, and advertises license plate capture among the capabilities of some of its products.
The documents do not establish that Uber or Lyft agreed to participate in the proposal. They also do not establish whether individual drivers would have been informed or asked to participate if the proposed partnership had moved forward.
According to 404 Media, Uber, Lyft and Nexar did not respond to its requests for comment.
The disclosure comes as automatic license plate reader technology continues to face scrutiny over how vehicle-location information is collected, shared and accessed by law enforcement agencies.
For communities already debating the use of Flock cameras, the newly disclosed presentation provides a look at one potential expansion of the technology that the company considered — but, according to Flock, ultimately did not put into operation.
