Wisconsin Official Warns Flock Cameras Store Location Data Permanently

A Wisconsin official warns that Flock Safety's license-plate cameras, now placed at city entry and exit points nationwide, capture images, GPS coordinates and physical descriptions, granting Flock a perpetual license to keep and use that data even after a city ends its contract. The data runs through AI cloud infrastructure and is searchable by physical traits; documented abuses include police tracking a government critic and stalking cases against dozens of women. This rapid, often unvoted expansion of an always-on identification network shows movement becoming permanently searchable, a capability that could enable sweeping control over dissent or religious attendance.
