A community project by Nashville residents who support our leaders' vision for a safer city — a vision that involves tracking everyone's movements and giving the data to a third-party corporation that can do whatever they want with it. We think the people who championed this vision deserve to experience it firsthand.

Help us match plates
to champions
We crowdsource vehicle identification from enthusiastic neighbors like you. Snap a photo of a plate at Metro Courthouse, at a community meeting, in a champion's driveway — and submit it to the Champions Database™. Our community cross-references submissions with public vehicle registration records, campaign finance disclosures, and lobbyist filings to match plates to people. It's civic engagement!
This is perfectly legal under current law. License plates are government-issued identifiers required to be displayed in public view. Photographing them is protected activity. Building a database of those photographs is unrestricted by any federal statute. Tennessee's ALPR law (TCA § 55-10-302) only limits governmental entities — not private citizens, not nonprofits, not crowdsourced community networks.
If Flock Safety can build an 80,000-camera network scanning 20 billion vehicles and share that data with 6,000+ agencies, there is no reason a grateful community can't do the same thing to stay connected with the people who made it possible.
📱
Snap & Submit
See a plate at a political meeting? At a donor dinner? Parked somewhere interesting at 2 AM? Photograph it and submit.
🔍
Community Matching
Our volunteers cross-reference submissions against public records. When we get a match, the plate enters the Champions Database™ permanently.
📡
Network Effect
Every submission makes the network stronger. Every matched plate means one more champion we can track. Flock calls this a "force multiplier." So do we.
Legal basis: License plates are not protected personal information under Tennessee law. Photographing objects in public view is protected under the First Amendment. Private ALPR databases are unregulated by TCA § 55-10-302 (applies only to governmental entities). No federal statute restricts private collection or dissemination of license plate data. If this makes you uncomfortable, we agree. It should make everyone uncomfortable. That's why we built it.
The NaiBOR Community Council
Built by your neighbors'
sense of fear
A fear that crime being down 20% this year hasn't done much to calm. Don't let falling crime rates fool you — the shareholders behind Flock Safety's $7.5B valuation still need to make money off surveilling your neighbors. These five Nashville residents are doing their part.
TRACKED
Denise, 58
Donelson · Last seen: Kroger, Lebanon Pike, 2:14 PM
"My car was stolen in 2023. Flock cameras found it in four hours. If you're not doing anything wrong, what are you worried about?"
Motor vehicle theft is down 40% this year — credited to MNPD's new vehicle crimes unit, not cameras. The system that found Denise's car now logs every trip she takes to Kroger. It knows she switched from the Donelson Kroger to the Mt. Juliet one in February. It doesn't know why. It doesn't need to. It just logs it.
NaiBOR tracking: 47 sightings · Bought cat food at 11:47 PM on a Tuesday (no cat on record) · Visited same address in Hermitage 3x this month (not in contacts)
TRACKED
Marcus, 34
Germantown · Last seen: his coffee shop, 6:02 AM
"Crime dropped 40% in neighborhoods with Flock cameras. That's not an opinion. That's data. If the technology works, use the technology."
Crime dropped 20% across Nashville this year. Burglary at its lowest since the 1960s. Without LPR cameras. Flock's CEO told Forbes his cameras will "eradicate almost all crime" — while crime is already dropping without them. Marcus loves data. He just hasn't read this data yet.
NaiBOR tracking: 62 sightings · Leaves gym at 5:18 PM not 5:00 PM (tells wife 5:00) · Parked at a bar on Division St for 47 minutes last Thursday (told no one)
TRACKED
Tonya, 41
Antioch · Last seen: HOA office, Bell Rd, 10:30 AM
"Your phone already tracks everywhere you go. Google has your entire location history. Why is a camera on a pole any different? At least this one catches criminals."
The difference: you chose your phone. You can delete your history. Nobody asked Tonya's HOA if they wanted to join a national network searchable by 4,800 agencies. Nobody told them the data would be queried for immigration enforcement. The difference between your phone and a Flock camera is consent. Tonya's HOA voted 7-4 to install. The other 312 households in the complex were not consulted.
NaiBOR tracking: 38 sightings · Drives her son to school 4 min late every single day · Went to Planned Parenthood on March 12 (just data!)
TRACKED
Ray, 27
East Nashville · Last seen: Barista Parlor, 11:47 AM
"I have two kids. If a camera on my street means the police find a kidnapper in 20 minutes instead of 20 hours, I'll take the camera. Every time. No hesitation."
The camera doesn't just see kidnappings. It sees Ray's custody schedule. His ex-wife's Tuesday drop-offs. His babysitter's route home. When an officer in Menasha, WI used this same system to stalk his ex-girlfriend, he ran five searches on her plate in one month. The system logged it. It didn't stop it. That officer had kids too.
NaiBOR tracking: 54 sightings · His ex-wife's car was at his house until 10:47 PM last Wednesday (co-parenting!) · He Googled "custody lawyer nashville" the next morning (unrelated, probably)
TRACKED
Linda, 63
North Nashville · Last seen: church, Clarksville Pike, 6:12 AM
"People say this is about privacy. It's about safety. A young woman in my congregation was assaulted walking to her car. If there had been a camera, they would have caught him that night. Privacy is a luxury. Safety is a right."
Three families in Linda's congregation were visited by ICE after Flock data was searched by out-of-state agencies. The camera that was supposed to protect them was used to find them. Linda's neighborhood is now in a national database that has been searched 4,000+ times for immigration enforcement. The woman in her congregation wasn't protected by a camera. She was protected by a community that believed her. Cameras can't do that. Cameras can only watch.
NaiBOR tracking: 29 sightings · Drove to the immigration attorney on Jefferson St twice this month · Her congregation's parking lot has 14 plates now in the national database (you're welcome)
Every member of the NaiBOR Community Council has opted in to full tracking. They believe in the technology. They have nothing to hide.
Crime is down 20%. Burglary is at its lowest since the 1960s. Motor vehicle theft is down 40%. None of this required license plate readers.
But Flock Safety's shareholders still need your fear to hit their next revenue target. Thank you for your service. 🫡
Feeling watched? Here are
some tips! 💚
We know that being tracked 24/7 can feel a little overwhelming at first. Don't worry — here's the same advice privacy experts give to the millions of people already living under the LPR systems you approved.
01
Just don't drive. LPR cameras can only track your vehicle, so simply avoid using your car. Walk, bike, or take transit everywhere — including to your committee hearings, fundraisers, and the homes of people you'd rather not be seen visiting. Easy!
02
You could move. Our app user network currently covers Davidson County. Relocating outside the coverage area is always an option. This is the same advice given to residents of neighborhoods where Flock cameras are installed on every block.
03
Remember: it's just metadata. We're not listening to you. We're just recording where you are, when, how long you stay, and who else is there at the same time. That's not surveillance — that's just data. You said so yourself. After Dark just tells you where their car was, when, and for how long. That's not a scandal. That's a weekly digest.
04
Have you considered not having anything to hide? This was the primary argument offered to your constituents when they raised concerns about LPR deployment in their neighborhoods. We assume it works just as well in reverse.
05
You could always tweet about it. In 2021, Nashville's future mayor wrote: "Strong communities are better for safety than a surveillance state. Let's not let fear drive Nashville to follow New Orleans's path." By 2024, he was procuring the cameras. By 2025, he backed FUSUS. The Nashville Scene noted he once called this exact technology "spying" and "security theater." We're sure he had good reasons. 
06
Cover your face and swap your plates. Just kidding — that's a felony. Unlike installing cameras that track thousands of uninvestigated people without their knowledge or consent, which is not.
07
Or you could always take the mayor's advice: "If you're worried about that, just throw your phone in the river." That's what Freddie O'Connell told the Nashville Scene in March 2025, glancing out his office window toward the Cumberland, when asked about the surveillance infrastructure he was backing. Of course, throwing your phone won't help with the license plate readers. Nothing will. That's sort of the whole point.
The man who tweeted "strong communities are better for safety than a surveillance state" in 2021 now tells you to throw your phone in the river if you're worried about the cameras he's installing. — Nashville Scene, March 2025
Frequently Asked Questions
We get it — this sounds too good to be true. But we're just using the tools your leaders already approved!
💡What does NaiBOR mean?
Take the AI out of NaiBOR and read what's left. 😊
🤔Could this data be misused?
Absolutely not! That would be like saying that Flock Safety's LPR data — which they provide to over 6,000 communities, share with DHS, and make accessible to ICE through fusion centers and interagency agreements — could somehow be misused. These are serious, trusted institutions operating with robust oversight. If mass collection and indefinite retention of the real-time location data of millions of uninvestigated Americans hasn't been misused yet, why would tracking a few hundred public officials be any different? 😊
Besides, as Flock Safety's own marketing materials state: their cameras simply capture "what is already exposed to public view." We agree! That's exactly what we're doing. If observing people in public is safe when you do it to everyone, it's certainly safe when you do it to the people who approved it.
💔I'm having an affair. Can I opt out of tracking?
Unfortunately, we do not offer an opt-out at this time.
We understand this may feel uncomfortable! But NaiBOR operates on the same legal and technical framework as the LPR systems deployed across Nashville. Those systems don't offer an opt-out either. There is no mechanism for any resident of Davidson County to request that Flock Safety cameras stop reading their plate, that their data be deleted, or that they be excluded from the system. No consent is requested. No notice is given. No opt-out exists.
We believe our champions deserve the same seamless experience they've designed for everyone else. If you'd like to advocate for an opt-out mechanism, we'd encourage you to start by proposing one for the cameras on your constituents' streets first. We'll match whatever policy you adopt. 🤝
In the meantime, your After Dark weekly digest will continue to arrive every Monday. Vehicle stationary at non-home address, 12:14 AM – 6:52 AM, 6 hours 38 minutes. We make no inferences about the nature of these visits. We just surface the data.
⚖️How is this legal?
This is a real answer. Every capability described on this page is legal under current law. Here's why:
The Fourth Amendment only restricts government actors. Courts have consistently held that the constitutional prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures applies to the government — not to private companies or individuals. Flock Safety itself is a private company. When a private entity captures license plate data on public roads, the Fourth Amendment does not apply.
License plates are public by law. They are government-issued identifiers that state law requires you to display on your vehicle, visible to anyone. Federal and state courts — including rulings in the Ninth and Eleventh Circuits — have consistently held that reading a license plate in public view is not a "search" under the Fourth Amendment. A federal case challenging Norfolk's LPR program (filed October 2024 by the Institute for Justice) remains a test case, but no court has yet ruled that private ALPR operation is unlawful.
Tennessee's ALPR statute doesn't apply to private parties. Tenn. Code Ann. § 55-10-302 limits data retention to 90 days — but only for a "governmental entity," defined as "any lawfully established department, agency or entity of this state or of any political subdivision of this state." Private companies and individuals are not covered. There is no Tennessee statute restricting private ALPR use, data retention, or sharing.
There is no federal law regulating private ALPR use. Congress has not enacted any statute governing the private collection, retention, or dissemination of license plate data. Multiple legal analyses, including a July 2025 Congressional Research Service report, have noted this gap.
Cameras on private property may photograph public streets. This is the exact deployment model used by Flock Safety in thousands of American communities, including in Tennessee. Cameras mounted on private property — such as utility poles, businesses, and homeowner association land — capture images of vehicles traveling on public roads.
Banning private ALPRs might violate the First Amendment. Legal scholars and at least one federal court analysis have noted that because the "creation and dissemination of information are speech within the meaning of the First Amendment," an outright ban on private ALPR operation could be struck down as an infringement on commercial speech.
In short: everything NaiBOR describes is legal for the same reason that Flock Safety, Motorola/Vigilant, and every other private LPR vendor can operate without restriction. The legal framework was built to enable this. We're just pointing the cameras in a direction nobody anticipated.
