LA and Other Cities Are Distancing Themselves From Flock Safety

Los Angeles has decided to end its contract with Flock Safety, a company that uses drones for surveillance, after three years of partnership. This move comes amid growing concerns over privacy and civil liberties. Other cities, including some that previously adopted the tech, are also reconsidering their involvement. The decision underscores a broader trend where local governments are increasingly wary of the potential for mass surveillance and the erosion of individual privacy rights. This shift is significant as it reflects a growing public and governmental push back against invasive tech that can undermine civil liberties.
