About the numbers: The 40–50M+ figure is an annualized estimate from a documented Maryville Flock dashboard sample, not a count of unique vehicles. A vehicle can generate multiple camera detections as it travels through the network. Flock also reports “unique vehicle” metrics that consolidate repeated detections, so those figures can be substantially lower than total camera activity.
Figures are based on Maryville public records and documented Flock system snapshots. They represent point-in-time records and estimates, not live system totals.

Field documentation matters. The location of a camera can raise different questions from the software itself: who approved the site, whose property or right-of-way is being used, who installed the equipment, and what records exist for that particular location.

From a Roadside Camera to a Searchable Record

Maryville Privacy began by documenting the use of Flock Safety automated license plate readers in Maryville. A roadside camera is only the visible part of the system. Vehicle observations can become searchable records inside a cloud-hosted law-enforcement platform.

Maryville Privacy focuses on what technology is deployed, what records it creates, who can access those records, what rules govern its use, and whether residents can independently verify those answers.
About This Project

MaryvillePrivacy.org is an independent transparency and public-records project focused on surveillance technology, privacy, and government accountability in Maryville and East Tennessee.

Investigations distinguish between what a photograph shows, what a public record establishes, what a vendor states, and what remains unknown. Sources are linked so readers can review the underlying evidence.
