Flock adds face recognition to its surveillance cameras
Original: Company adds face recognition to Flock cameras
Flock Safety, the company whose automated license plate cameras are installed in many US cities and neighborhoods, has added face recognition capability to its camera systems. The move extends the company's surveillance reach beyond vehicles to identifying people, drawing immediate criticism from privacy advocates and civil liberties groups who warn of mass, unregulated biometric tracking. Supporters argue it could help solve crimes, but the expansion has reignited debate over local police contracts with the company.
Why now: People are alarmed that cameras already widespread in public spaces can now identify faces, not just license plates.
