Federal judge calls Flock 'indiscriminate mass surveillance'

A federal judge has criticized Flock, the license plate surveillance company, describing its camera network as 'indiscriminate mass surveillance' in a ruling. The decision is being widely shared and debated, with many arguing it could set limits on how law enforcement uses Flock's vast plate-reading data, and others warning about the privacy implications of such surveillance systems operating nationwide.

Why now: A judicial rebuke of a widely deployed surveillance company raises fresh questions about privacy and law enforcement overreach.
