Episode Details

Flock Safety is slashing default license plate data storage from 30 days to just 7, arguing most searches happen within the first week — but police can still keep data in “Evidence Mode” for active investigations. States like New Jersey, with their own longer rules (up to 3 years), remain unaffected. The company’s also rolling out stricter controls: officers will need case codes to search by year’s end, departments can restrict cross-agency access, and mandatory audits by 2026 aim to catch misuse — though privacy advocates remain skeptical about real-world effectiveness.
