I've started noticing these new Flock cameras popping up in various suburbs. They're an AI-enabled license plate reader and security camera platform run by a private company. Data is sold to police, HOAs, landlords, and other groups around the country. The system lets someone be tracked anywhere in the US without a warrant, by recording license plates and identifying characteristics of the target. There has been some controversy and a few lawsuits about this system. Some legal scholars say these might be unconstitutional, violating the 4th amendment against unreasonable searches.
