Flock tightens privacy controls amid scandals over officer abuse
Medium
Summary
Flock Safety, a license plate reader company, is implementing new privacy controls and requirements to address concerns about law enforcement misuse of its technology. Following numerous reports of officers using the cameras for personal surveillance and a broader backlash, Flock is mandating auditing features, requiring officers to input case codes for searches, and limiting data sharing. These changes come after contract cancellations in liberal cities and a growing civil liberties movement.
