Lawmakers target Flock cameras with a threat to highway funding

A bipartisan bill has been introduced to restrict the use of Flock cameras to only a few public safety purposes. Flock cameras are a brand of license plate reader cameras used for traffic enforcement and other purposes. The bill would limit their use to law enforcement agencies, public transportation, and other government entities. This move is a response to concerns about the cameras' use in private parking lots and other areas. The bill's sponsors aim to ensure that the cameras are used for legitimate public safety purposes and not for profit.
