Flock Safety is feeling the heat from ongoing public backlash against the company's controversial surveillance technology. Amid mounting contract cancellations and anti-Flock vigilantes targeting automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras across the country, CEO Garrett Langley appeared on Fox News earlier this week beseeching a national "compromise" to save the company from efforts to ban the technology outright.
But while many privacy advocates may relish seeing Flock on the run, civil liberties experts warn against losing sight of what truly matters: passing strong legal protections that outlive Flock's dominance.
