Summary
LAPD has paused its use of Flock Safety’s license plate cameras amid mounting concerns over data privacy, potential federal data sharing, and lack of oversight — following an inspector general’s audit that demanded stricter controls before any new deployments. Activists are pushing back, especially in downtown LA, while Flock denies the concerns are valid, calling them misunderstandings. With the existing contract set to expire and no clear path forward, other cities have also cut ties with Flock over similar fears — leaving the future of this surveillance tech in serious doubt.
