GoKawiilSanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Merkley introduce Ban Flock Act limiting federal ALPR use
Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Jeff Merkley have introduced the Ban Flock Act, which would bar federal agencies from using automatic license plate readers and cut federal funding to state and local governments that deploy them. The bill would also allow Americans to sue the federal government over rights violations tied to the technology. The lawmakers cited reporting by 404 Media on Flock's camera network as a motivation for the legislation.
