Home Depot Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Parking Lot Surveillance in California
Home Depot is facing a class action lawsuit in California, alleging that the company illegally surveilled customers' vehicles using Flock camera technology. The lawsuit claims that these cameras, installed at the entrances and exits of Home Depot parking lots, captured license plate numbers, vehicle make and model, and other distinguishing features, storing this data in a database accessible to law enforcement. The lawsuit, filed in April 2026, argues that this practice violates California privacy laws. However, contrary to some social media claims, the lawsuit does not mention facial recognition technology. The case is set for an initial case management conference on August 10, 2026.
