@politiconews: Communities across the U.S. are cutting ties with Flock Safety, one of the country’s leading producers of license plate readers and other surveillance systems, over concerns around mass surveillance and data privacy — and fears over how data could be used in immigration crackdowns. Residents have swarmed city council meetings in states where Flock cameras have cropped up to urge elected officials to cancel contracts or deactivate Flock cameras. Over 20 local jurisdictions either stopped using Flock cameras or began the process of doing so in July — the highest amount in a single month since tracking began in 2021. The company says that represents only a small fraction of its customers.
