Senator Bernie Sanders introduced the Ban Flock Act to bar federal agencies from using automatic license plate readers or tapping into data collected by local police and private companies. This legislation is designed to place strict limitations on the federal government's ability to access or utilize such surveillance technology.
The Ban Flock Act applies to any automatic license plate reader systems, not only those operated by Flock Safety, ensuring its scope covers all similar surveillance infrastructure.
As U.S. Senate legislation, the Ban Flock Act aims to restrict government use of automatic license plate readers nationwide, reflecting ongoing concerns over privacy and surveillance in the United States.
