Your license plate could reveal more than you think. Flock cameras, vehicle tracking and OSINT can turn information about your car into clues about where you live and your daily routines. I’m joined by an OSINT expert to discuss how vehicle information can be connected with public records, why surveillance raises privacy concerns and what happens when people trust an incorrect license plate match. He shares his experiences of locating a missing car after a police search came up short and investigating a hit-and-run using a partial plate and publicly available information. We discuss: • Flock cameras and vehicle identification beyond license plates • How vehicle data can expose patterns in your movements • License plate recognition errors and the importance of verification • How public records can connect a vehicle to a person • The risks of surveillance access being abused • Privacy measures, their limitations and the need for accountability • DeFlock and community scrutiny of surveillance cameras How much can someone discover about you from the information you leave exposed? // Mishaal Kahn’s SOCIALS // LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mish-aal/ Website: https://www.mishaalkhan.com/ Tool created: https://www.operationprivacy.com/ // David's SOCIAL // Discord: https://discord.com/invite/usKSyzb X: https://www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@davidbombal Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gERfuriI96efWWLQQ SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/davidbombal Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/david-bombal/id1466865532 // MY STUFF // https://www.amazon.com/shop/davidbombal // SPONSORS // Interested in sponsoring my videos?
