Who likes Flock AI cameras? Reuters/Ipsos polled 1,000 Americans to find out
Reuters and Ipsos surveyed 1,000 Americans to gauge public opinion on Flock Safety's AI-powered license plate reader cameras, which are widely deployed by law enforcement agencies across the country.
Why this matters: Public opinion polls on surveillance tech matter because they shape how far companies and police departments think they can go. Flock cameras are already in thousands of communities, tracking where cars go and building databases most residents never voted on. Whether people support that or not, most of them did not get a say when their town signed the contract. Knowing who backs this technology and who does not is useful, but the harder question is whether approval ratings should determine how much surveillance is acceptable in the first place.
