Flock forces case-number checks and tighter data limits amid surveillance backlash
Flock is forcing officers to log a criminal case number before searching its 120k license‑plate‑reader network and making its automatic audit tool mandatory, aiming to curb documented stalking abuses. The tweaks also shrink data retention to seven days and let departments restrict inter‑agency searches, a move to stem the growing backlash that’s already cost contracts.
