Flock Cameras Can Surveil Cars Without License Plates
AI summary
A company presentation from 2024 reveals that Flock Cameras can gather detailed information about cars, including decals, bumper stickers, and roof racks, in addition to temporary and unique state tags. This data is referred to as a "Vehicle Fingerprint" and can be used by law enforcement to gather information even when a license plate is not visible. The system allows police officers to search this data to build cases with limited initial information. It also enables them to locate multiple vehicles of interest to law enforcement. This capability can aid in investigations where full plate information is not available. The technology provides law enforcement with an alternative means of tracking and identifying vehicles.
