ALPRs' threat to privacy and safety can’t be solved by city protocols, EFF's Adam_D_Schwartz@mstdn.social told @MercNews. “At minimum, officers should be required to get a warrant issued by a judge before searching the stored location data. Even better, cities should not use ALPRs at all.” https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/09/23/san-jose-pushes-tighter-controls-on-flock-camera-database-after-officer-abuse/

@eff @MercNews Flock needs to be gone.
@eff @MercNews The thing I don't like about this is that all of the discourse really is centered on flock, when it should be on alprs and similar technology in general. We've already seen evidence that other municipalities are just swapping flock for axon or other choices, and staying inside the same quagmire.
It should be less about the vendor, and more about the technology itself, and the users of it.
