Data privacy concerns prompts Flock camera pushback
Communities are pushing back against Flock Safety license plate reader cameras over data privacy concerns. The opposition reflects growing unease about how footage and vehicle data collected by these systems is stored, shared, and used.
Why this matters: Flock cameras are spreading fast. Cities and HOAs buy them, often quietly, and they build a detailed record of where your car goes and when. Most residents find out after the network is already in place. The pushback here is people asking basic questions before that happens: Who holds the data? How long? Who can request it? That is the right order to ask.
