Senator Ron Wyden’s letter to Flock CEO Garrett Langley asserts that the company’s massive surveillance network is inherently abusive and cannot be trusted. Wyden retracts a previous privacy agreement, stating his oversight found Flock is “unable and uninterested” in preventing misuse. The letter accuses Flock of deceiving its 5,000+ police customers by denying DHS access while secretly running a pilot program with CBP and HSI. Wyden argues that promised software “filters” to block searches related to abortion or immigration are “meaningless” because police can easily circumvent them using generic search reasons like “investigation”. Citing Flock’s “see-no-evil” policy of not auditing searches, Wyden concludes abuse is “inevitable” and recommends communities remove the cameras.
