Flock Safety Cameras Spark Privacy Crisis | Atlanta News

A Georgia sheriff’s $1,000 reward for tampering with a Flock Safety camera sparks a national debate over surveillance tech—these automated license plate readers, deployed by police, neighborhoods, and businesses, are meant to track sex offenders but fuel fears of mass privacy invasion. Activists protested at a Flock Safety convention in Atlanta, warning the tech enables unchecked policing and erodes civil liberties. Reports of officers misusing the systems to surveil personal lives have led to firings and arrests, raising alarms about data access and misuse. While Flock Safety cut retention from 30 to 7 days, critics say it’s too little, too late—and demand companies like Home Depot sever ties to halt potential immigration enforcement abuses. The rallying cry? Get Flock Safety out of our cities before they become a surveillance state. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
