Bipartisan Bill Seeks to Limit Flock Camera Use or Risk Highway Funding

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced a bill targeting the use of Flock Safety cameras across the United States. The legislation would restrict how these automated license plate reader cameras can be used, limiting them to a narrow set of approved public safety purposes. To enforce compliance, the bill ties restrictions to federal highway funding, threatening states or jurisdictions that fail to comply with potential loss of that funding. Flock cameras have become increasingly widespread, raising concerns among legislators about privacy and surveillance overreach.
