Tech surveillance firm Flock Safety announced new privacy changes to its cameras and data amid growing privacy concerns.
The AI surveillance firm is facing increased scrutiny over how law enforcement has used its technology.
The AI-powered Flock cameras are installed around the country and help read vehicle license plates to track speeding, crime, and more.
The company will retain data for just one week instead of a month and use a new system to suspend users whose searches appear abnormal.
Law enforcement agencies have touted the technology as a crime-fighting tool that tracks and stores license plate information. But Flock has faced growing criticism over how police use its cameras.
Flock Safety operates roughly 120,000 cameras across 49 states. It makes around 20 billion plate scans each month for law enforcement, schools, homeowner associations, and more.
