An ACLU investigation reveals that driver-surveillance company Flock can share license plate data with federal agencies via its default contract, even when local police clients opt out. This data sharing extends to 7,000 agencies, including ICE, raising concerns in states with ‘Shield Laws’ designed to protect abortion and gender-affirming care data. The report highlights cases of misuse, such as a Texas police department conducting a warrantless search for a woman who had an abortion, and extensive data sharing with immigration authorities in Virginia. Flock is also expanding its reach by partnering with Amazon’s Ring to integrate home security video and offering drone surveillance programs to private businesses, further blurring the lines between private security and public law enforcement and creating a vast, privately-operated surveillance network with minimal public oversight.
