Federal judge calls Flock 'indiscriminate mass surveillance'
Original: Federal judge calls Flock ‘indiscriminate mass surveillance’
A US federal judge has sharply criticised Flock, the license plate surveillance company used by police departments across the country, describing its network of cameras as 'indiscriminate mass surveillance'. The ruling adds to growing legal and privacy scrutiny of automated license plate readers, which track the movements of millions of drivers and are increasingly challenged in court as an overreach by law enforcement.
Why now: A new federal court ruling against a widely used police surveillance technology raises fresh concerns about privacy and law enforcement overreach.
