Flock Safety is introducing new accountability features such as data retention policies and administrator reviews for its ALPR system amid public backlash and rising legislative efforts to limit the technology's use. The effectiveness of these features depends heavily on enforcement by Flock's customers, coinciding with a significant national campaign opposing ALPR surveillance.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Public rejection and legislative moves against ALPR technology have forced Flock Safety to add accountability features that rely on customer enforcement, signalling that privacy concerns will increasingly shape surveillance tech adoption. You must now prepare for tighter scrutiny on data practices and may find local markets closing or opening depending on the enforcement rigor of your clients.
