Flock Safety’s license plate scanning tech is sparking nationwide privacy debates as people discover their plates via “Have I Been Flocked?”—but a hit doesn’t mean trouble, just a logged search. Protests erupt from coast to coast as police tout crime-solving benefits while civil liberties groups warn of erosion of freedom.

The tension between security and liberty is hotter than ever. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
