Flock worker calls police on reporter filming public camera installation

A Flock Safety technician called 911 on investigative reporter Brendan Keefe while installing an automated license plate reader camera on a public street in suburban Atlanta, claiming he was being followed and harassed. The incident resulted in police pulling over Keefe, who was legally filming the public camera installation from a distance while clearly identifying himself as press. The stop represents at least the second documented case this year where Flock Safety workers have called police on people engaged in public recording, even as the company faces mounting criticism and contract cancellations over privacy concerns surrounding its surveillance technology.
