The Springfield Police Department plans to install 25 license-plate-reading cameras in the next few months, but is declining to identify which law enforcement agencies will have access to the data the cameras collect.
Flock Safety has stressed that local departments make decisions on how to share the data collected by the camera readers. But published reports have shown how, in California, for example, documented uses of data-sharing seem to have gone beyond what’s been envisioned by state lawmakers, including breaching sanctuary state laws to share data with ICE.
