Delaware’s Flock ALPRs: Public Safety Tool or Privacy Flashpoint?

Delaware police agencies use Flock Safety automated license plate readers (ALPRs) across multiple departments to help solve crimes and locate missing people, with about 20 agencies involved; supporters say it’s a crucial tech upgrade, while privacy advocates and the ACLU warn it constitutes warrantless mass surveillance, risk data sharing with federal agencies like ICE, and potential misuse, and Delaware has yet to implement state guardrails despite protests and calls for limits from lawmakers and residents.
