The Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody, Georgia, has implemented a comprehensive AI-driven surveillance system from vendor Flock Safety, including over 100 license plate readers, drones, and gunshot detectors. This network creates a searchable database of vehicle movements, which law enforcement can use to track cars and analyze live feeds. While proponents, including Flock’s founder, claim the technology can ’eradicate crime,’ privacy advocates warn of a ’nightmare scenario’ of mass surveillance. Critics highlight the risks of mission creep, data sharing across state lines for purposes like enforcing abortion bans, and the development of platforms that merge surveillance data with public records. With no federal laws governing such technology and a 10-year freeze on state-level regulations, the expansion of private surveillance networks operated by companies like Flock proceeds with minimal oversight, prioritizing policing over fundamental privacy rights.
