Flock Safety's Feature Updates Cannot Make Automated License Plate Readers Safe
Briefly

Flock Safety is expanding its surveillance network using flawed systems that previously required retraining officers on compliance with state laws. The company has been effectively creating a 'surveillance social network' by integrating various public and private surveillance methods. However, their technical safeguards are rendered ineffective by human workarounds, leading to potential abuse of the system for monitoring vulnerable populations. The risks inherent in Flock's ALPR surveillance systems jeopardize millions of Americans' privacy and could lead to significant harm if exploited by bad actors.
Flock Safety's surveillance network is under scrutiny for enabling violations, with a troubling reliance on vague justifications that undermine oversight and accountability.
The company has doubled down on its surveillance methods despite previous failures, raising concerns about chronic vulnerabilities and risks to citizens' privacy.
