Flock Safety Under Fire Over Police Misuse | Denver News

Flock Safety’s surveillance tech is under fire after reports of police misusing its nationwide license plate reader network—accusations include stalking and data abuse. CEO Garrett Langley apologized, citing a woman’s experience and admitting Flock should’ve acted sooner, calling hindsight “brutal.” He defended the tech as a tool to expose misconduct. Amid privacy concerns and ACLU criticism, Flock is rolling out fixes: slashing default data retention from 30 to 7 days, requiring case codes for searches (with emergency overrides), and giving customers more control over what offenses can be queried. Langley also warned officers: “You will get caught,” pushing for criminal penalties instead of just firing. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
