Flock Cameras: Use, Misuse, Privacy, & the Impact on Citizens

Flock Safety is a surveillance technology company that manufactures cameras and  automated license plate readers used by  law enforcement, neighborhoods, and businesses to deter crime, respond to emergencies, and investigate safety incidents.  “Flock cameras” have been a source of controversy in communities across the nation, with critics arguing the constant tracking violates civil liberties and builds massive location histories without warrants, where supporters of flock cameras see it as an essential tool to combat crime. 

On this Lawyer 2 Lawyer episode, Craig welcomes Katie Kinsey, Chief of Staff and Tech Policy Counsel at the Policing Project at the New York University School of Law. Craig & Katie spotlight flock cameras, examine the use and misuse of flock cameras in our communities, and discuss the pushback against surveillance, data privacy laws, the Fourth Amendment, and the potential impact on our citizens.
