Flock Promises Even More Ineffectual Features In Response To Congressional Demands
Flock is in the middle of a long losing streak. It's one thing to lose hearts and minds via PR work. It's quite another to lose actual dollars because you've lost a ton of hearts and minds by being on the losing end of mainstream media coverage for most the past two years. If it...

Cop Shops Keep On Dropping Flock Like It’s Hot
You have to know you're fucking up when your largest and best-paying customer base is increasingly noping out of contract renewals. That more than anything is probably what provoked ALPR maker Flock Safety to start implementing a few guardrails for use. It seemingly had no problem with being the target of negative press for most...

Flock-Stalking, Nazi-Saluting Deputy Given Top Cop Honors Before Hastily Retiring Ahead Of Criminal Charges
Law enforcement is often self-selecting. If you like the things you've seen cops get away with (violence, brutality, open racism, multiple rights violations, etc.), you'll probably like being a cop. And before the pedants get carried away in the comments, I'm using "cop" as shorthand for the whole of the law enforcement profession, even if...

Flock Claims It’s The First Company To Expose Police Misuse Of Surveillance Tech
Flock Safety is hurting. It spent the early part of its career pitching plate reader tech to people who honestly didn't need it: HOA supervisors and gated communities. Then it realized there was far more money to be made by courting governments, rather than the richest parts of the private sector. A few years later...

As Flock Vandalism Goes Mainstream, One Grand Jury Says Alleged Flock Vandal Did Nothing Wrong
Flock Safety has been on the wrong side of the press cycle -- if not the wrong side of history -- for most of the last couple of years. Flock's automated license plate readers (ALPRs) are more comprehensive than many of those previously deployed by law enforcement agencies. Not only do they capture plate/location data,...

Area (Atlantic) Columnist Decides *Now* Is The Time To Start Defending Flock Safety
Flock's ALPR (automated license plate reader) tech spread from HOAs to police departments at an alarming rate of speed. What was once a toy for the over-privileged soon became the go-to source of license plate images. Flock became the Ring of ALPRs, to mix a metaphor. And that's when the bad news began to roll...

Flock Safety Decides To Implement A Few Changes After Months Of Negative Press
Flock Safety has spent a few years building a massive network of ALPR (automated license plate reader) cameras. Flock's cameras are a step ahead of competitors. They not only grab plate/location info, but they provide searchable tags/images that cover everything from car make/model to specific vehicle features. These photos also include images of the drivers...

It’s Official: Flock Is For Stalking
Flock Safety is happy it's the go-to choice for tons of law enforcement agencies. While it does suffer some occasional bleeding, its supercharged automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) -- ones that not only capture plates, but pictures of drivers/passengers and full vehicle images to capture any other distinctive features -- are so widely deployed they're...
