The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., sent Flock Safety CEO Garrett Langley a letter Wednesday launching a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism investigation into the company’s license-plate camera network. Hawley said Flock operates more than 120,000 cameras in 49 states and asked whether its AI-powered system has created a searchable national database of Americans’ movements. The inquiry seeks details on who can access captured data, how long it is retained and shared, and how Flock addresses alleged police misuse and false-positive matches.
