Flock to Strengthen Oversight Following Police Misuse Cases
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Flock Safety, a company known for its vehicle tracking cameras, announced new measures to enhance privacy and prevent misuse of its systems. Starting now, the default data retention period will be reduced from 30 days to one week. Authorities needing longer retention must provide a case number. Flock will also expand its 'Audit Assistance' tool, which blocks users flagged for unusual search activity. While these changes aim to address privacy concerns, critics like the ACLU argue they are insufficient, emphasizing that Flock's technology enables mass surveillance of innocent drivers without warrants, raising significant privacy issues.
