Federal judge calls Flock 'indiscriminate mass surveillance'
A federal judge has described the license plate surveillance company Flock as conducting 'indiscriminate mass surveillance'. The ruling adds to ongoing legal scrutiny of Flock's network of cameras, which track vehicle movements across thousands of US communities and feed data to police. Critics argue the system sweeps up data on innocent drivers without suspicion, while Flock maintains its technology helps solve crimes.
Why now: A federal court ruling challenging the legality of a widely deployed surveillance network is a significant development for privacy debates in the US.
