Georgia suburb's Flock camera data shared with over 2,000 agencies nationwide

Alpharetta, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, has been sharing vehicle surveillance data collected via Flock Safety cameras with more than 2,000 organizations. The recipient list spans a wide range of entities, including federal agencies and even a fish and wildlife commission. The broad sharing arrangement highlights how extensively Flock's license plate reader network has expanded across the United States. Critics argue the scale of data sharing raises serious privacy and civil liberties concerns. The situation illustrates how local police departments can inadvertently become nodes in a vast, interconnected surveillance infrastructure.
