Flock Safety's AI surveillance system identifies vehicles by license plate, color, damage, bumper stickers, and other features, enabling movement tracking and association detection across law enforcement networks without warrant. The system raises serious Fourth Amendment concerns, with documented misuse including a Kansas police chief using cameras 228 times to stalk an ex-girlfriend. Privacy advocates warn these 100,000+ cameras operated by 3,000+ agencies create unconstitutional mass surveillance in a legal gray zone.
