Flock cameras: surveillance or safety?
About this episode
The episode discusses the debate surrounding Flock cameras and their impact on privacy and law enforcement in Arizona communities.
Debates over Flock cameras, license plate readers that use artificial intelligence, are riling up citizens in Chandler and South Tucson who argue that the tech is invading their privacy. But proponents say that Flock is helping local police, the U.S. Border Patrol and agencies like U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This week on The Gaggle, we are joined by two reporters who have been keeping tabs on how some communities in Arizona are handling the fight over Flock.
