Charlotte residents demand accountability from Flock Safety

At a meeting with Charlotte residents, a Flock Safety representative could not say who is accountable for the license-plate reader system, placing responsibility on local agencies. Flock deletes data after seven days and logs searches, but offers no public reporting or complaint mechanism.

• Flock Safety sells license-plate reader cameras to police without facial recognition
• Data defaults to deletion every seven days and all searches are logged
• Company says 40+ courts upheld fixed LPR cameras as lawful
• Residents want mandatory public reporting, independent audits and complaints
