自动车牌识别公司Flock首席执行官Garrett Langley在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的国际警察局长协会（IACP）会议上的发言录音近日遭泄露 1。Langley声称针对该公司的抗议活动并非真实自发行为，而是主要由俄罗斯机器人驱动 1。他表示自7月以来社交媒体上关于Flock的讨论量下降了约95%，并指出上周出现50%的降幅是因为乌克兰无人机轰炸了俄罗斯数据中心，尽管这一理论已被驳斥 1。Langley还引用其妻子的建议称“你绝不应该道歉”，并表示如果可能希望永远不再接受媒体采访 1。
Flock运营着一个拥有约80,000个摄像头的全国网络，该系统允许执法部门进行跨辖区搜索且无需搜查令 1。由于涉及隐私滥用及与移民执法的关联，该公司面临广泛批评，过去18个月中已有数十个城市取消了与Flock的合同 1。
Leaked audio from the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference in Orlando, Florida, features Flock CEO Garrett Langley dismissing public criticism of his automatic license plate recognition company as largely fabricated. 1 Langley asserted that protests against Flock are not genuine grassroots movements but are instead driven primarily by Russian bots. 1 He claimed that social media discussion about the company had dropped by approximately 95% since July, attributing a further 50% decline in the previous week to Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian data centers—a theory he presented without noting it has been debunked. 1
In addition to minimizing the backlash, Langley indicated a strong reluctance to engage with journalists or issue apologies for the controversies surrounding his firm. 1 Recounting advice from his wife, he stated, “You should never apologize,” and added, “I want to never do another media interview, if possible.” 1 These remarks come amidst significant operational challenges for Flock, which operates a national network of roughly 80,000 cameras that enable warrantless cross-jurisdictional searches. 1 Over the past 18 months, dozens of cities have canceled their contracts with the company due to concerns over privacy abuses and its ties to immigration enforcement. 1
