Mass Surveillance, Police Misuse, and Who Controls Your Flock Cameras with Flock CEO, Garret Langley

The gist

1. 90% of crimes can be solved with just 7 days of license plate data, so Flock recently shifted its default retention window from 30 days to 7.
2. A new audit tool flags unusual officer search patterns, and Georgia police chiefs have already used it to fire nine officers.
3. Drones sent on 911 calls can defuse situations before officers arrive, like confirming a reported gun was actually a lighter.
4. Langley argues defaults matter most, so Flock sets short retention windows and no facial recognition out of the box, letting communities adjust from there.
