Galesburg police are reviewing their 10 Flock Safety license plate reader cameras after Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias alleged the company violated state law by sharing data with federal border officials and out-of-state police for prohibited uses, including immigration and abortion-related enforcement. Giannoulias said the company’s actions “put them in direct violation of Illinois law” in a video statement Monday. Police chief emphasizes complianceThe Galesburg Police Department, which installed the cameras in 2023 to combat crimes like carjacking and vehicle theft, is reassessing their use. “The Galesburg Police Department is committed to leveraging technology effectively to enhance community safety and reduce crime,” Chief Kevin Legate told WGIL. “We are currently evaluating our use of Flock Safety cameras,” he said.
