A federal judge has described Flock Safety's license plate surveillance network as 'indiscriminate mass surveillance,' according to TechCrunch. The ruling criticizes the company's widespread camera systems used by police across the US, raising fresh legal questions about warrantless tracking of drivers' movements. Flock's cameras are deployed in thousands of communities, making the decision significant for privacy advocates and law enforcement agencies alike.
Why now: A court ruling challenging the legality of Flock's widely deployed surveillance cameras has major implications for privacy and policing.
