Flock Tightens License Plate Camera Rules | Richmond News

Flock, the maker of police license plate reader cameras, is rolling out major security upgrades after public outcry over misuse — slashing default data retention from 30 days to just one week and mandating a new “Audit Assistance” system that locks out suspicious users. These changes aim to rebuild trust after high-profile abuses, including a Richmond sergeant losing access for sharing data with the FBI. While Flock touts the tech’s success in solving over a million crimes and finding 10,000 missing people, residents in Richmond remain unconvinced, demanding the cameras be removed entirely.
