UW Study Looks to Question How Flock Security Camera Information Being Shared – KXL

SEATTLE, Wash.  — A new study by The University of Washington Center for Human Rights appears to show how Flock Security Cameras have in some cases been used incorrectly.

It suggests there are cases of direct, indirect and other ways agencies at the federal level have been able to get information on private U.S. citizens and ondocumented immigrants they otherwise may not have been able to gather.  Springfield and Eugene, Oregon have made decisions to pause their use as has Auburn, Washington and other cities in the Northwest.

Oregon U.S. Senator Ron Wyden has been an outspoken critic of the use of the surveillance cameras while some local law enforcement agencies have praised them.
