Judge rules Flock police search was mass surveillance
Original: A police search using Flock was a form of ‘mass surveillance,’ judge rules
A judge has ruled that a police search conducted using the Flock camera network amounted to 'mass surveillance,' according to the Washington Post. The decision raises fresh legal questions about how law enforcement uses automated license plate reader networks to track vehicles, and could constrain police reliance on such surveillance technology in future investigations.
Why now: The ruling sets a precedent that could limit police use of automated license plate reader networks across the US.
