An underground network is systematically disabling Flock automatic license plate readers across the US, while Rep. Thomas Massie introduced legislation to bar federal funding for police departments using the surveillance cameras.
An organized network is systematically disabling Flock automatic license plate readers in multiple states, while Rep. Thomas Massie introduced federal legislation to cut off funding for police departments using the cameras. The simultaneous push—direct action on the ground plus legislative action in Congress—suggests the opposition to mass plate-reading surveillance is coordinated and serious. Flock maintains the cameras are legal and helpful for law enforcement, but the two-pronged effort indicates activists and some lawmakers see them as unacceptable mass surveillance.
