Flock tightens privacy controls amid scandals over officer abuse

Flock Safety is requiring all customers to enable an Audit Assistance feature for tracking unusual access to its license plate recognition system. The company will retain license plate data for seven days by default in most jurisdictions, addressing previous concerns about officer misuse.

Why it matters: Law enforcement agencies, municipal governments, and privacy advocates need to understand new mandatory oversight controls and data retention limits that affect how license plate recognition data is stored and accessed.
