Two U.S. senators, Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.), are raising concerns about the misuse of automated license plate readers (ALPRs), often called "Flock cameras," by police. They have written to Attorney General Todd Blanche requesting information on the Department of Justice's funding and oversight of these systems to prevent abuse. The senators highlight numerous instances of officers improperly using ALPR technology for personal reasons.
New York City police officers used Flock Safety's license-plate readers for over 1,700 searches between 2023 and 2025, despite the department not having a contract with the company. This ad hoc use raises privacy concerns and questions about departmental oversight.
Flock Safety's "Safe City" subscription bundles license plate readers, live video, and gunfire microphones, raising concerns for lawful gun owners. The article discusses how these systems can lead to innocent drivers being mistaken for suspects and the legal implications under the Fourth Amendment.
