Federal judge calls Flock 'indiscriminate mass surveillance'

A federal judge has sharply criticized Flock, the license-plate surveillance company, describing its camera network as 'indiscriminate mass surveillance.' The ruling adds to ongoing legal and privacy debates over police use of Flock's widespread automated license plate readers across US communities, which civil liberties groups argue enables tracking of entire populations rather than targeted investigations.

Why now: A judicial rebuke of a widely deployed surveillance network raises fresh questions about privacy and policing.
