ACLU Accuses Flock Safety of Repeatedly Misleading Officials and Public on Surveillance

The ACLU has published a report accusing Flock Safety, a license plate reader (ALPR) camera company, of repeatedly making false or misleading statements to city councils, police departments, and the general public. The allegations suggest Flock Safety misrepresented how its surveillance technology works and how collected data is used. The report raises concerns about transparency and accountability in the deployment of automated license plate recognition systems across the United States. The ACLU argues that such deceptive practices undermine public trust and informed decision-making by local governments considering adoption of the technology.
