Flock Has a Powerful New AI Tool for Police. We Got Its Code

Flock's law enforcement surveillance system incorporates advanced artificial intelligence capabilities that extend significantly beyond license plate recognition. WIRED obtained and analyzed the underlying code to demonstrate the scope of the AI tool's capabilities currently deployed with police agencies.

Why it matters: Law enforcement practitioners and civil liberties stakeholders should understand the full scope of surveillance technologies in use; security and policy teams need clarity on data handling, retention, and algorithmic bias in these systems.
