Flock Safety revealed structural modifications to its surveillance platform on Thursday as the company faces mounting criticism over its expanding network of license plate readers. The announcement represents a significant response to ongoing scrutiny from privacy advocates and civil liberties organizations concerned about the technology’s scope and deployment.
The company, which supplies automatic license plate recognition systems to law enforcement agencies nationwide, did not immediately detail the specific nature of all proposed changes. The modifications come as debates intensify regarding data collection practices and potential misuse of vehicle tracking technology.
Privacy watchdog groups have questioned whether the proliferation of plate-reading cameras creates surveillance infrastructure that outpaces legal oversight. Flock Safety’s systems capture and store vehicle location data that law enforcement agencies can access for investigative purposes.
