š° News we're reading
ā¢ Flock unveils changes after Post report on police misuse of its network (inquirer.com) ā Flockās license-plate cameras, including those installed in Jefferson are getting new safeguards after reports that officers nationwide misused the system to track people for non-police reasons. The Atlanta-based company will now require case numbers for every search, shorten default data retention to seven days, and automatically scan searches for suspicious patterns, while giving local agencies more control over data sharing.
