MapQuest adds optional layer showing Flock license plate cameras

MapQuest turning Flock's camera network into a consumer map layer is a notable mainstreaming moment: surveillance infrastructure that was mostly visible to city officials and civil-liberties researchers is now a toggle in a navigation app. The practical effect cuts both ways—awareness for drivers, but also a public index of sensor coverage that could be used or contested in ways vendors did not design for. Whether other mapping platforms follow, and whether Flock or municipalities push back on being plotted, is the open question.
