Lawmakers Introduce Multiple Laws to Curb Flock After 404 Media Coverage

Following 404 Media's reporting on Flock's automatic license plate readers, lawmakers from both parties introduced the Ban Flock Act, which would prohibit federal agencies from using the cameras and block federal funding to states and localities that deploy them. The legislation was prompted by concerns that Flock's surveillance network operates without community consent and has been used to share data with federal immigration officials, creating an unchecked surveillance state that violates privacy rights.
