Sanders proposes federal ban on Flock surveillance cameras

Original: Sanders introduces bill to ban the federal government from using Flock The proposed legislation would extend to all auto

Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation that would prohibit the US federal government from using Flock, the license plate reader surveillance network. The bill would also extend restrictions to cover all automated license plate readers across federal agencies. The proposal targets the rapidly expanding camera system that tracks vehicle movements nationwide and has drawn growing criticism from privacy advocates and civil liberties groups.

Why now: Concerns over mass vehicle surveillance by Flock's license plate reader network are mounting, and a prominent senator's bill puts the issue at the centre of the privacy debate.
