Texas is expanding its Flock Safety camera surveillance program across the state, alarming many who fear privacy rights violations and other forms of abuse. The Texas Tribune reported that the state’s Department of Public Safety is expanding the surveillance network and creating a database accessible by multiple law enforcement agencies. The cameras, produced by Atlanta-based Flock Safety, use artificial intelligence to scan every vehicle that passes by, uploading the plate number, model, color and even bumper stickers to the country’s largest vehicle surveillance database. Law enforcement agencies that contract with the company — here and across the U.S. — can search the accumulated database with a few keystrokes and without a warrant. Nationally, Flock Safety estimates some 5,000 law enforcement agencies and 6,000 communities use its surveillance products.
