Senadores cuestionan privacidad de la red nacional de cámaras Flock
The short version: Red Latina reports that U.S. senators grilled Flock Safety's national camera network over privacy concerns during a Washington hearing.
Our Take
It's a good sign when a story about mass surveillance crosses language lines, and credit to Red Latina for bringing this hearing to Spanish-speaking audiences who are too often left out of the privacy conversation entirely. Flock's ALPR network doesn't check immigration status or English proficiency before it scans a plate — everyone driving past one of these cameras gets logged, which makes broad, multilingual scrutiny of the company exactly what's needed.
That senators are now asking hard questions about a network that has quietly grown to cover huge swaths of the country, often through small-town police contracts with little public debate, is a step in the right direction. But hearings alone don't turn off cameras or delete data. Real accountability comes from communities finding out where these devices actually are and pushing back at the city council and sheriff level before the contract renews.
