Senate Hearing on Flock Safety Exposes Gaps in Camera Oversight
Key Takeaways
- A Senate Judiciary subcommittee held a legislative hearing on how Flock Safety secures, shares and allows searches of its license plate reader data.
- Five witnesses testified, including a Florida woman wrongfully jailed after a Flock camera image and an Arizona sheriff who cancelled his county's contract.
- No Flock representative appeared; CEO Garrett Langley sent a letter stating the company conducts very little oversight of client searches and relies on customers to police themselves.
- Testimony examined police accountability, data retention practices and oversight questions that apply across a roughly decade-old ALPR industry.
