Flock announces security changes after dozens of reports of law enforcement abuse and public backlash

Why this matters: Flock's cameras are everywhere now — neighborhoods, parking lots, highways — feeding a private surveillance network that police tap into with little oversight. Dozens of abuse reports means officers were using it in ways they were not supposed to. That is the core problem with giving law enforcement a tool this powerful before the rules around it are solid. Security changes announced after a scandal are not the same as accountability. The question is whether anyone who misused this system faced real consequences, and whether the public gets any say in whether these cameras stay up.
