Flock tries to make its cameras harder for cops to misuse

Flock Safety is implementing measures to make its automated license plate reader cameras more difficult for police to misuse. The company is tightening access controls and adding audit features to prevent unauthorized surveillance or data abuse. These changes come amid growing concerns about privacy and civil liberties, as law enforcement agencies have been accused of using the cameras for purposes beyond their intended traffic enforcement and crime-solving functions. Flock's efforts aim to balance public safety with accountability, though critics argue that stronger independent oversight is still needed.
