Flock Safety dispute moves to Congress
Original: Flock fight moves to Congress
The fight over Flock Safety's automatic license plate reader cameras has reached Congress, moving a debate that has so far played out mostly in cities and local councils onto the national stage. Flock's cameras, widely used by police to track vehicle movements, have drawn criticism from privacy advocates and some local officials who argue the network enables mass surveillance, while supporters say it helps solve crimes. Federal lawmakers are now being pulled into deciding how the technology should be regulated.
Why now: Flock's license plate reader network has sparked local privacy battles, and the dispute now drawing congressional attention gives it national significance.
