- 0:55Speaker 1: the police to tie every license plate search to a
- 0:58Speaker 1: case number. And that's one of the several privacy changes
- 1:04Speaker 1: that's going to take effect in January, the first of
- 1:06Speaker 1: two Gouland twenty seven. The cameras replaces in every state
- 1:12Speaker 1: but Alaska where you are aware of that, and law
- 1:15Speaker 1: enforcement can search the data without a warrant. There have
- 1:20Speaker 1: been dozens of cities that have counciled contracts, and of
- 1:24Speaker 1: course vandals have attacked cameras nationwide, flockers cutting the time
- 1:29Speaker 1: it keeps an image on your car From thirty days
- 1:32Speaker 1: to seven days. Police departments must also enable a tool
- 1:37Speaker 1: that locks out officers whose searchers appear abnormal, and you
- 1:42Speaker 1: know what happens. Cities can now pick which crimes outside
- 1:47Speaker 1: agencies may search their cameras, letting them block immigration searches.
- 1:53Speaker 1: CEO Garrett Langley said flocks in gold isn't a desopian
- 1:58Speaker 1: future of surveillance, It's one where we all feel safe.
- 2:03Speaker 1: The American Civility Union Chan Marlow wants the data deleted
- 2:08Speaker 1: after forty hours, and said Flopped collects location data on
- 2:13Speaker 1: versually every car in America every month. According to cyber News,
- 2:19Speaker 1: Flop planned to turn uber and Lift cars into mobile
- 2:24Speaker 1: surveillance vehicles. Three hundred and fifty thousand Uber Lipped and
- 2:29Speaker 1: Delivery drivers were air marked for surveillance. Lead documents showed
- 2:34Speaker 1: that Flocked Safety, the company behind the highly controversial network
- 2:38Speaker 1: of automatic license plate readers across the United States, was
- 2:44Speaker 1: planning to convert three hundred and fifty thousand Uber uber
- 2:48Speaker 1: lipped and delivered cars into a sort of mobile extension
- 2:53Speaker 1: of a surveillance system where you aware of that. As
- 2:58Speaker 1: of to day, flop on only employees smart pole cameras
- 3:02Speaker 1: across America, but the company has more ambitious plans despite
- 3:08Speaker 1: growing protests. The Lancaster Police Department in the state of
- 3:12Speaker 1: New York's planning to start using Flocked drone cameras in September.
- 3:17Speaker 1: For example, they would fly over designated areas to provide
- 3:22Speaker 1: rapid response capabilities, and according to a leap Flock presentation
- 3:28Speaker 1: obtained by four zero four Media, the firm recently pissed
- 3:33Speaker 1: any idea to expand the curviillance network by equipping the
- 3:38Speaker 1: ride share vehicles with dash cams that can scan license
- 3:42Speaker 1: plates along their routes. Say what. The document depicts a
- 3:47Speaker 1: proposed partnership between Flock and dash can makers Netsar, a
- 3:52Speaker 1: firm already pushing devices to ride share drivers. According to
- 3:57Speaker 1: four four Media, the pitch share with the news website
- 4:01Speaker 1: by Jason Hunter, a Georgia resident who obtained it through
- 4:06Speaker 1: a public records requests, It shows that Flock was actively
- 4:10Speaker 1: marketing the idea to prospective customers last year. It's unclear
- 4:17Speaker 1: whether those hundreds of thousands of rise share drivers would
- 4:21Speaker 1: have known their cards were collecting data from passing vehicles.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Critics already point to a growing number of incidents when
- 4:32Speaker 1: police officers were found to have used Flock license plate
- 4:35Speaker 1: readers to stark people, for instance their exes. Indeed, knowing
- 4:42Speaker 1: the location of an owner's car can be used to
- 4:45Speaker 1: deduce sensitive information such as religious police, personal relationships, doctor appointments,
- 4:52Speaker 1: and so on. Furthermore, steals captured by the camera new
- 5:00Speaker 1: passive bys and therefore expose more innocent people biparnishing. Backlash
- 5:08Speaker 1: against the company has been growing lately as per political
- 5:13Speaker 1: Over twenty local jurisdictions concerned over mass surveillance and data
- 5:18Speaker 1: privacy moved toward canceling Flock contracts in July. Flock's proposal, however,
- 5:26Speaker 1: never went further than that. No such deal with companies
- 5:30Speaker 1: like Uber or Left exists. Still, it shows the scale
- 5:34Speaker 1: of Flock's ambitions in finding new data sources. Four for
- 5:40Speaker 1: Media had early reported on the security breach that exposed
- 5:44Speaker 1: a large chunk of data for Nextar customers, including footage
- 5:49Speaker 1: recorded near sensitive sensitive military sites. Let me ask the
- 5:55Speaker 1: questions that take a moment and take a sipa more water?
- 5:57Speaker 1: You don't mind? Do you? Are you sure? And finally,
- 6:09Speaker 1: a South Carolina police officer has been fired for allegedly
- 6:15Speaker 1: using a plot camera system to check on an individual,
- 6:19Speaker 1: excuse me with whom she had had in a relationship.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Ellie Hannah Hammon, twenty four, was fired on August, the
- 6:30Speaker 1: Mauldine Police Department said. According to KOCTV, a department representative said,
- 6:37Speaker 1: no comment on the action will be coming because it's
- 6:39Speaker 1: a personnel matter. Hammon was fired due to a leeged
