HACKED FLOCK CAMERA EXPOSES MASS SURVEILLANCE SCALE

The compromised camera's data logs and video files provide rare insight into Flock's automated license plate reader (ALPR) network. The numbers underscore how quickly these devices accumulate vehicle tracking information. Flock cameras, deployed by law enforcement agencies across the U.S., are designed to identify stolen vehicles and locate suspects. However, the leaked data highlights concerns about the volume of data collected on regular drivers who have committed no crimes. The incident raises questions about data security within Flock's infrastructure and how easily such surveillance systems can be accessed. It also reignites debate about the scope of ALPR technology and whether the data collection practices align with privacy expectations. Flock has not yet publicly commented on the breach. The company operates thousands of cameras nationwide, continuously building databases of vehicle movements and locations.
