Public Backlash Builds Against Flock Surveillance Cameras
Original: The Flock Backlash Catches Up to the Tech
Flock Safety, the company behind a vast network of automated license plate readers used by police and communities across the United States, is facing mounting public opposition. Critics argue the cameras enable mass surveillance and data sharing without adequate safeguards, and the growing backlash is now pressuring the technology itself, with some communities reconsidering or restricting its use.
Why now: Concerns over privacy and mass surveillance by Flock's license plate reader networks have intensified public and political scrutiny of the company.
