Flock Safety & ALPR news

Reporting on ALPR deployment, litigation, and policy from outside news sources, updated daily. Every item links back to the outlet that reported it.

This page is an automated feed, not original reporting. A daily sweep of outlets covering ALPR and Flock Safety — including the Electronic Frontier Foundation and general news search — publishes matching headlines here with a short summary from the publisher and a link to the full story. FlockScanner does not write, verify, or endorse these stories; every claim belongs to the outlet named on the item. For background we do stand behind, see our articles or the data methodology page.

This section tracks a fast-moving beat: cities adopting or canceling Flock Safety and other ALPR contracts, lawsuits over data access, and legislative activity at the state level. It's a companion to our evergreen articles, not a replacement for them — the articles cover what's generally true (how the technology works, what the law says), while this page covers what's happening right now. If you're looking for a specific location, the camera directory and map are the better starting point instead of this news feed.
