@sfchronicle: San Francisco began installing Flock Safety's automated license plate readers in 2024, after city leaders announced a camera deployment plan to target retail theft and a number of other crimes. Since then, 482 of these surveillance tools have popped up across the city — bringing a number of privacy concerns with them.

Love that they're used to catch criminals. Even the criminals are complaining that it's harder to perform criminal acts

They are NOT merely license plate readers. Language matters. Abusive police use these for abusing their partners.

But they won’t use this for identifying/tracking stolen vehicles. I got three tickets for a moped which was registered as stolen.

Please stop calling them license plate readers. They track your devices and record video of people, they're placing them in children's play areas and other areas that don't have any cars

They gave us drop for data brokers but what about this invasive surveillance?

When there was a breach/ improperly accessed data, SF media reported data was not accessed from flock systems. As you explain no, it was transferred to San Francisco systems and can be accessed there. And as you note SF keeps data longer.
