Police Are Hiding Their Use of Flock Surveillance Cameras
Police departments in Wapello County, Iowa are using Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras while operating under a usage policy that explicitly prohibits disclosing the surveillance tool to suspects or documenting its use in arrest reports and complaints. The secrecy directive mirrors historical law enforcement practices with earlier surveillance technologies like IMSI-catchers, where agencies sought to conceal investigative methods from public scrutiny.
Why it matters: Security practitioners and compliance officers should monitor law enforcement surveillance practices and their integration into security infrastructure, as undisclosed ALPR usage raises questions about transparency, due process, and the evidentiary standards applied in criminal cases.
