电子前沿基金会的分析揭露了美国执法部门在使用Flock Safety自动车牌识别系统时存在的严重监督缺陷。1印第安纳州Lake County警长部门一名警察在2025年7月以"LMAO"为由，对跨越1,558个城市的19,000个摄像头进行了搜索。1
该基金会的调查发现，类似的不当使用行为广泛存在。1搜索理由中包含"LOL"、"Hehe"、"Haha"、"idk"、"blah"、"asdfg"等玩笑性或无意义的表述，反映出系统缺乏实质性的使用管制。1此外，超过6,300次搜索仅使用"TBD"作为理由。1这些记录来自2023年至2025年底间超过30个机构。1
为应对这一问题，Flock在2025年底改革了系统设计，用预设类别替代了自由文本输入字段。1Flock的网络已扩展到超过120,000个摄像头。1
An officer with the Lake County Sheriff's Department in Indiana conducted searches across 19,000 cameras spanning 1,558 cities in July 2025, providing only "LMAO" as the stated reason 1. The Electronic Frontier Foundation's analysis revealed that law enforcement agencies across more than 30 institutions between 2023 and the end of 2025 had employed frivolous or nonsensical justifications when using the Flock Safety automated license plate recognition system 1. Beyond the "LMAO" entry, documented search rationales included "LOL," "Hehe," "Haha," "idk," "blah," and "asdfg," while over 6,300 searches were justified merely with "TBD" 1.
The Flock network has expanded to encompass more than 120,000 cameras nationwide 1. In response to scrutiny, Flock redesigned its system by late 2025, replacing the open text input field for search justifications with preset categories 1. President Trump publicly endorsed the camera system on Sunday in 2025, stating "I like them, because law enforcement" 1.
