🚨 ALPR Surveillance in the Spotlight 🚨
Recent data unveils troubling truths about U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and its extensive access to Flock’s automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras—over 80,000 of them. This revelation points to a significant, previously unreported relationship between federal agencies and local law enforcement.
Key Findings:
- Surveillance Scope: CBP’s access to Flock’s network is much broader than assumed.
- Lack of Awareness: Some local police departments are unaware they’re sharing data with CBP.
- Direct Access: Reports confirmed CBP now has direct access to Flock’s ALPR backend.
- Data Sharing Agreements: Agreements between CBP and police departments like Loveland, CO, challenge the perception of their rarity.
As AI continues to evolve, we must stay informed about the implications for privacy and data security.
