What Are Flock Cameras In Your Neighborhood Actually Recording? [gzOVwNgrSn6]
Cities are installing Flock cameras that record vehicle information for law enforcement, elevating questions about accuracy and privacy. The automated license plate recognition system from Flock Safety uses computer vision and AI to log plates, make, model, color, and location data in the cloud. On July 12, police in Plymouth, Minnesota, detained a driver after a Flock alert tied to an incorrectly entered stolen-plate record. The Los Angeles Police Department has suspended Flock use, with CIO Dean Gialamas citing unresolved data ownership, privacy, security, and sharing terms. Privacy advocates worry the technology could eventually add facial recognition, while residents can view maps and apps showing where local cameras are installed. ► Click HERE to subscribe to Knewz on YouTube: ► Click HERE to subscribe to Knewz’s up-to-the-minute breaking news podcasts: Connect with Knewz on social media:
