Oregon Bans Flock Surveillance Cameras | Portland News

Across Oregon, a growing backlash is targeting Flock’s AI-powered surveillance cameras—used in over 500 locations and linked to at least six cities and two counties pulling back or canceling contracts. Both parties are now pushing for bans, citing serious privacy concerns: these systems track every vehicle, building detailed movement profiles even for innocent drivers. While Flock claims its tech helps catch criminals—including in a recent homicide—it’s also been criticized for misidentifying suspects, inaccurate data, and alarming access by federal immigration agencies in Woodburn. With current state laws limiting data storage to just 30 days, lawmakers argue it’s not enough—and some want a total ban on automatic license plate readers.
