   Flock -- an automatic license-plate-reading service -- is adding tons of data sources ...

   ... so police could, upon scanning your license, get linked to tons more info about your life, relationships, etc

   where did Flock get these additional sources of info?

   they're using standard people-lookup tools and data brokers, but also ...

   ... info from *data breaches*

   so great
