Ban Flock Act Would Bar Federal Use of AI License-Plate Readers

Original: Ban Flock Act Would Bar Federal Use of AI License-Plate Readers A new federal bill would bar agencies from AI-powered li

A new federal bill, the Ban Flock Act, would prohibit US agencies from using AI-powered license-plate-reader networks such as Flock's and press states and cities to follow suit. The proposal is deepening a fight over surveillance, police safeguards and public safety, with supporters citing privacy risks from mass plate-tracking and opponents warning it could undermine crime-solving tools.

Why now: Growing public concern over automated surveillance and expanding license-plate-reader networks has made the bill a flashpoint in the privacy-versus-safety debate.
