Bipartisan US lawmakers move to restrict Flock surveillance
What happened
According to an October 7 report, Democratic, Republican and independent US lawmakers, citing 404 Media reporting, introduced several bills to restrict federal use of Flock cameras and automated license plate readers (ALPRs). The Ban Flock Act, unveiled Friday, would bar federal agencies from using ALPRs, cut federal funding to state and local governments that use the cameras, and let Americans sue the federal government over related violations. So far the bills have only been introduced, and the restrictions depend on passage.
