San Jose considers new Flock Safety camera restrictions

The changes would make thirty days the limit for storage rather than Flock's default of one year, unless the information is part of an active investigation.

The city proposes banning cameras in and around churches and healthcare facilities, making it clear that data can't be shared with federal immigration enforcement agencies.

A redesign before we even have followers? Bold strategy.

The site looks much better now. More importantly, it's easier to actually read what's going on with license plate surveillance in Broward: what's installed, what it collects, and what nobody officially wants to talk about.

LYNNWOOD—The Lynnwood City Council voted unanimously on Monday, February 22, to terminate its contract with Flock Safety, scrapping a controversial network of automated license plate recognition cameras that had drawn months of fierce community backlash over privacy invasions and potential misuse for immigration enforcement. The Council’s decision was a swift reversal for a program once hailed as a crime-fighting tool but ultimately undone by eroded public trust and lapses in data security.

Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.
