AI Surveillance Startup Flock Installs Cameras Without Permits

Startup Flock, specializing in AI-based license plate tracking, has installed car tracking cameras in 4,000 cities across 42 states without proper permitting, facing legal issues in several states. The company's growth has been fueled by its willingness to bend the rules, but concerns arise over the use and access to the tracking data, infringing on personal freedom. Flock's CEO claims the cameras solve about 2,200 crimes a day, but the company's aggressive tactics and lack of transparency have raised significant ethical and legal concerns.
