‘A nightmare for individual liberties’ — Josh Hawley unveils sweeping new anti-Flock legislation

If one lawmaker has his way, new rules are coming that will change the way Flock Safety and other automated license plate reader companies will run their companies.

With data and accountability at the forefront, tech companies could face much stricter parameters on what they can do with their recordings.

‘A nightmare for individual liberties.’

Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley says he is set to introduce the Stop Flock Abuse Act, and while the proposed legislation mentions Flock Safety by name, it would apply to other AI-powered surveillance agencies as well.

Hawley put forth seven key pillars that such companies will be directed to follow should his act become law.

This included restrictions on data, like a requirement to delete driver information after 10 days, except for active criminal investigations.
