监控公司Flock Safety首席执行官加里特·兰利近日就该公司技术的滥用问题进行公开回应。在接受Fox News采访时，兰利表示"我们必须优先考虑的是妥协"1。这一表态是在《华盛顿邮报》报道称警察被控46次未经授权使用Flock技术进行骚扰之后发出的1。这些滥用案件包括警方跟踪妻子、女友或前任等行为1。兰利随后对CBS News表示"我很抱歉她经历了这种事"，但坚持声称"我不认为Flock造成了警察滥用"1。
Flock的遭遇已引起来自政界多方的批评。佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯发文呼吁"停止AI大规模监控。停止FLOCK"1。密歇根州民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜尔·埃尔-赛义德则指责对手支持"大规模部署Flock摄像头"1。共和党方面，三名众议院共和党人最近提出法案禁止联邦政府购买使用面部识别、生物识别或车牌识别的自动监控系统1。
为应对舆论压力，Flock已推出改革措施。公司将默认数据保留时间从30天减少至7天，并要求访问前输入案件代码，不过这些更改可被覆盖1。美国公民自由联盟表示，虽然Flock未将保留时间缩短至该联盟建议的48小时，但其提议"可能是正确方向的一步"1。
Flock Safety's chief executive is calling for a balanced approach to address growing concerns about unauthorized police use of the company's license plate recognition technology. Garrett Langley stated in a Fox News interview that "compromise" must be prioritized 1, as the surveillance firm faces criticism from across the political spectrum following reports of officer misconduct.
The Washington Post identified 46 cases in which police were accused of improperly using Flock technology, including instances where officers tracked ex-partners, wives, and girlfriends 1. When asked about these incidents on CBS News, Langley expressed sympathy—"I'm sorry she went through that"—while maintaining that "I don't think Flock caused police abuse" 1. The company has implemented safeguards in response, reducing default data retention from 30 days to 7 days and requiring case code entry before access, though these settings remain overridable 1.
The backlash has drawn bipartisan condemnation. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders posted: "Stop AI mass surveillance. Stop FLOCK" 1, while Michigan's Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed accused his opponent of supporting "massive deployment of Flock cameras" 1. Three House Republicans recently introduced legislation to prohibit the federal government from purchasing automated surveillance systems using facial recognition, biometric, or license plate identification 1.
Civil liberties advocates have offered cautious assessment of Flock's measures. The American Civil Liberties Union stated that while the proposed seven-day retention period falls short of the organization's recommended 48-hour threshold, it "may be a step in the right direction" 1.
