It would be nice to see some sat-nav apps adding an 'Avoid Flock' option that uses the camera location data to route you around them. Although, I don't know how ubiquitous they are, so it may make routing through some big cities impossible!


When that youtuber Benn Jordan released a video describing techniques to covertly throw off Flock cameras (such as obscuring part of the plate with dirt or mud but still allowing it to be clearly read by humans), we saw a Florida legislature update the rulings in record time to overcome these techniques.

You add this feature and then the next day all "blind spots" will be covered with additional Flock cameras.
