Flock says police interpreted accurate vehicle-location evidence

Flock SafetyCompany responding through an attributed spokesperson statement

Flock disputes the account of its responsibility for the wrongful theft accusation, pointing to police interpretation of accurate data.

“As noted in the complaint, the Flock system accurately identified the location of Ms. Elser’s vehicle, while law enforcement retained responsibility for interpreting and weighing that information as part of the broader investigation.”

Where this statement fits

Should Flock Safety be held liable for misuse of its license-plate surveillance network?

Lawsuits in Colorado, Georgia and California seek to hold Flock Safety responsible for alleged privacy violations, unsafe safeguards or police misuse of its network. Flock says police interpret location evidence and customers control data sharing, and it disputes the California claims. The cases raise different questions about the company's legal duties and responsibility.
