LAPD Renegotiates Flock Safety Partnership Citing 'Serious Concerns Around Civil Liberties'

Summary

The LAPD is renegotiating its partnership with Flock Safety, a license plate reader company, to include enhanced privacy protections after initially deciding not to renew its contract due to "serious concerns around civil liberties" and data ownership practices. This comes as other cities have also discontinued or scrutinized their use of Flock cameras over privacy issues.
