Massie unveils Flock-Off Act aimed at restricting surveillance cameras

Rep. Thomas Massie introduced the Flock-Off Act to curb the use of federal funds for automated license plate readers and biometric surveillance cameras, arguing that such technology infringes on personal privacy. The bill aims to prohibit municipalities and local law enforcement from using federal money to acquire, maintain, or operate these surveillance devices. This move is significant as it highlights growing concerns about mass surveillance and the potential for government overreach, sparking a broader debate about balancing security with civil liberties.
