Flock is tightening its rules in response to a growing surveillance backlash

Flock Safety, a nationwide police surveillance network operating 120,000 license plate reader cameras, is implementing new safeguards including mandatory criminal case number entry and automatic audit systems in response to documented misuse and contract cancellations. The company's incremental changes face criticism from civil liberties groups who argue they lack meaningful verification mechanisms and that true accountability requires independent research access to Flock's systems.
