Episode Details

Flock Safety’s license plate cameras, now deployed across 120,000 locations nationwide, are under fire after dozens of cops were caught misusing them for personal tracking—raising serious questions about privacy and legality. In response, Flock’s CEO apologized and rolled out strict new rules: every search must tie to an active criminal case, automated systems will flag suspicious queries, and data retention is slashed from 30 to 7 days. But legal battles rage on as lawsuits challenge warrantless surveillance, while bizarre incidents like a Utah camera appearing without authorization highlight the tech’s messy rollout. The tension between public safety and civil liberties is far from resolved—and we’re watching to see if these reforms actually hold up.
