Judge rules police Flock search was mass surveillance
Original: A police search using Flock was a form of ‘mass surveillance,’ judge rules
A judge has ruled that a police search conducted using the Flock camera network amounted to mass surveillance, a decision with potential consequences for how law enforcement uses automated license plate reader systems. The ruling, reported by The Washington Post, is likely to fuel ongoing legal and public debates over privacy rights and the expanding use of surveillance technology by police departments.
Why now: A court decision limiting police use of a widely deployed surveillance camera network has direct implications for privacy and policing debates.
