It's not just Flock

I was using Google Earth street view to verify some speed camera locations when I found a pickup truck parked in the bike lane right next to a speed camera (38.99432, -76.93232). The truck was identified as belonging to Altumint. It seems that in addition to measuring speed (https://altumint.com/automated-traffic-enforcement/) their cameras can function as LPRs (https://altumint.com/vehicle-recognition/). "Our proprietary AI networks are trained to find the vehicle first—so even those with missing or obstructed plates are captured." Another case of AI making our lives better?

More and more LPR's are
More and more LPR's are being setup everyday. The goal of flock is to have every major/minor road to have LPR on it that are also capable of cataloging the year,make, model and color of the vehicle, making your life safer (not).
In the city where I live
There have been several crimes solved due to Flock cameras. I my self have no problem with them.

PA screwed up
Brain f a r t in Pennsylvania. For the new plates a “zero” has a slash through it. The LPR cameras are interpreting it as an “8” causing people to be incorrectly billed.

Speeding
It won't be long before law enforcement starts using Flock cameras to issue speeding tickets.
All they need to do is measure the time it takes for a vehicle to travel the fixed distance between cameras.
No more need for speed cameras or speed traps.

…many years ago (1950’s) on the West Virginia Turnpike. When you turned your toll ticket in it would be scanned and tickets could be issued. Growing up in W Va I found it humorous the cars on the side of the road waiting out the time so they didn’t get ticketed.

" The new Automated Vehicle Identification System or AVIS, works by measuring how long it takes a vehicle to travel between two cameras placed along the corridor. This function allows the cameras to calculate a driver’s average speed through the construction zone and determine whether they were going over the limit. "

Construction???
I wonder if they would ticket someone "speeding" in a construction zone even though it was Sunday or some other time when there was obviously no construction going on. I've often traveled through areas that say to slow down for construction when there were no workers or equipment present.

Figured this was just to get people to stop at the service plaza to spend some money.

And then we wonder
Why we've lost trust in our police systems

When I lived in CT it was common for them to leave the "construction zone" for years after it was done. I suspect it was some shady tactic to add more fines if they pulled someone over. They would leave the signs up for 3-4 years after the work was done in some places.
WTF
What the Flock?!

On a few of the routes I regularly travel, I get off the interstate, take a shortcut and get back on again. Flock would detect this as speeding.
Also, Flock won't pick up speeders who make a stop between cameras.
