A Police Officer's Case for Flock Surveillance Cameras

Original: A Cop's Case for Flock

A new essay makes the case for Flock, the automatic license plate reader camera network increasingly used by police departments across the United States, written from the perspective of a serving police officer. The author argues the cameras help solve crimes and justify their widespread deployment, a position likely to fuel ongoing debate over mass surveillance, privacy, and civil liberties.

Why now: Debates over Flock's license plate surveillance network and its privacy implications are active, and a police insider's defense draws attention from both critics and supporters.
