Cities Reject Flock Safety's Surveillance Technology Amid Privacy Concerns
Numerous cities, including Bend, Oregon, have terminated contracts with Flock Safety, a company providing AI-powered license plate cameras, due to privacy concerns. The technology, which captures vehicle data, has been criticized for its potential misuse and lack of data privacy protections. Reports indicate that some law enforcement agencies have shared Flock data with federal entities like ICE, raising further concerns about surveillance overreach. The backlash has led to public pressure and legislative efforts to limit the use of such surveillance technologies.
