The fight over Flock and other ALPRs

The fight over Flock's automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras has led to dozens of communities canceling contracts or turning them off due to concerns over data collection and access. Flock's cameras use AI to track vehicles and people's movements. The LAPD has suspended its use of Flock's cameras, and Amazon-owned Ring has canceled a partnership with Flock after online backlash. Flock is 'pausing further exploration' of a potential partnership with Ring. This raises concerns about AI policing and surveillance.
