Flock’s AI Police Tool Tracks Drivers Without Plates

The significance here is less about any single identification and more about the shift from plate-based lookups to behavioural matching, which widens the pool of people a camera network can flag. It affects any driver passing a Flock camera, not just those with registered or visible plates, and raises the question of what counts as reasonable suspicion when the trigger is a movement pattern. Whether such pattern-based identifications hold up in court, and how agencies set access rules around the preloaded prompts, is the open question.
