Castle Rock to review use of Flock license plate readers

Castle Rock's Town Council is taking a closer look at its use of Flock's license plate readers, prompted by Councilmember Max Brooks' concerns over data privacy and policies. This move comes after the council directed staff to compare Flock’s data policies with those of its competitors to ensure the town's practices are up to par. While Brooks stressed that his concerns aren't about the technology itself, the review highlights a broader debate about surveillance and data privacy in local law enforcement. This scrutiny is significant as it could influence how similar technologies are regulated and adopted across other municipalities.
