At least 10 local governments have moved to drop Flock’s surveillance cameras since summer

At least 10 local governments in the US have stopped using Flock's surveillance technology, citing concerns over mass surveillance, data privacy, and procurement issues. Flock's software, which includes license plate readers, drones, and microphone-based edge-computing devices, helps solve crimes such as finding missing people or stolen cars. The backlash is part of a broader pushback against the rapid adoption of advanced AI technology.
