Episode Details

Flock Safety’s license plate scanning cameras are rolling out across Utah, sparking heated debate as law enforcement agencies deploy them to fight crime — but privacy advocates and frustrated citizens are pushing back, even vandalizing the tech. With over 120,000 cameras nationwide, the company claims strict data controls and court-backed privacy protections, yet critics question their transparency and long-term impact. As cities like Ogden and Sandy roll out the tech, tensions rise at city council meetings, and Flock Safety warns that damaging the cameras endangers public safety — especially in critical cases like AMBER Alerts.
