Los Angeles Lets Its Flock Contract Expire
The LAPD cited civil-liberties, privacy, data-storage, and sharing concerns as it declined to renew a three-year camera contract.
Summary
The LAPD cited civil-liberties, privacy, data-storage, and sharing concerns as it declined to renew a three-year camera contract.
The Los Angeles Police Department will allow its contract with license-plate-camera company Flock Safety to expire, according to statements reported by local outlets and TechCrunch. The department's chief information officer cited unresolved privacy, civil-rights, security, storage, and data-sharing concerns. Flock said the decision surprised the company and that it expects to address what it called misconceptions.
