When Eagle Sports Range in Cudahy, Wisconsin, removed its three Flock Safety cameras in August, general manager Saad Jaber cited broader customer privacy concerns, not misuse at the range. In Cleveland, Georgia, Gun Commanders owner Michael Carter covered his privately owned Flock camera with a trash bag and is having it permanently removed, telling Now Georgia his customers' trust matters more than "any piece of technology."
Police misuse of plate-reader data has sparked a nationwide backlash against those cameras. Gun owners have an additional worry: A lawful trip to a gun store or range could put them on a government list.
