Portal went live
Flock Safety publishes a public transparency portal for each agency that uses its automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. A new portal usually means the agency has signed a Flock contract and begun deploying cameras, or has started disclosing an existing deployment. Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 13.824) requires agencies to log their ALPR use and notify the state BCA, which keeps a public list of agencies that operate the cameras.
