Response to this claim
Flock's August 2026 safeguards meaningfully address privacy and misuse concerns about its license-plate reader network.
“Seven days is still a long time It gives people who evaluate and analyze the data enough time to create, you know, patterns are created, and through the use of AI, they can predict future movements.”
Why we used this label
The case asks whether Flock's August 2026 safeguard package (a seven-day default retention period, Evidence Mode, offense-based sharing limits, mandatory Audit Assistance, proactive lockouts and case codes) addresses privacy and misuse concerns about its plate-reader network. McKee says the central retention change still leaves data long enough for patterns to be found and movements predicted. Condemns fits because she judges that safeguard insufficient. Mixed or conditional is the closest competing label; it loses because she does not credit the change as answering the concern.
