SC Attorney General Alan Wilson presses Flock Safety for answers on AI use, data privacy
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson has contacted Flock Safety, a license plate reader and surveillance technology company, seeking information about how the company uses AI and handles personal data collected through its systems.
Why this matters: Flock Safety cameras are already in hundreds of communities, quietly logging where your car goes and when. Most people have no idea. An attorney general asking pointed questions about AI use and data practices is one of the few moments this kind of surveillance gets any public scrutiny at all. The answers matter: who can access the data, how long it is kept, whether AI is flagging people automatically, and what happens when it is wrong. That is not a compliance question. It is a basic civil liberties one.
