TechFlock adds safeguards to license-plate readers after stalking cases

Flock Safety is tightening privacy controls after at least 46 US law enforcement officers were accused of using its AI-powered license-plate cameras for unauthorised tracking, including stalking women. The company will cut default image retention from 30 days to seven, add offence-based access filters, require search audits and case codes, and lock out users showing abnormal behaviour. The ACLU said most changes appeared superficial or recycled.
