A son walked into a gas station on a Saturday evening and returned to find his elderly father and their family SUV missing. The suspect stole the car with the man trapped in the passenger seat next to him, and fled onto the interstate. Officers used Flock to find the location of the vehicle and reunite the man with his son unharmed. A father put in a vulnerable position is now safe and back with his family because of the heroic work of first responders.

Another story that speaks for itself - fortunately, one with a happy ending. "A 17-year-old Prince George County girl is back with her family after investigators say she was abducted from a college parking lot Wednesday morning by a former boyfriend who led police on a multi-state chase before being captured in North Carolina... ...Investigators quickly focused on Claiborne, a former boyfriend, and used Flock camera technology to track him south. "Through Flock technology, and also other technology that was available to us, we were able to track him to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina," Knott said.... ...Claiborne then stole a second vehicle and led police on another pursuit before fleeing on foot. Late Thursday afternoon, Flock cameras in Pender County, North Carolina, alerted the sheriff's office, which located the vehicle. Claiborne jumped out and ran, then returned to the vehicle and fled again. When he was finally stopped and placed in handcuffs, he jumped into the Intracoastal Waterway and was pulled out by a boat. The victim is now back in Virginia with her family." This isn't marketing. It is a news account of real events, that happened to real people, that illustrates the value of law enforcement technology, used responsibly. And it makes me proud, as always, to work at Flock. https://lnkd.in/g_yXpZD6

A 29-year-old man was arrested for kidnapping and abusing an 11-year-old girl. Every minute a predator is free, they can harm more people. “Flock safety cameras were instrumental in helping to identify the suspect vehicle, leading to the identification and arrest of the suspect,” Bakersfield Police Department said.

Oddly enough, the same people up in arms about “Flock” and other license plate reader technology somehow have no problem with law enforcement officers wearing body cameras for an entire shift. Think about that. We, as law enforcement officers, are recording constantly. Every call. Every traffic stop. Every arrest. Every conversation. Every interaction with the public. There is no convenient “privacy mode” when the situation becomes uncomfortable. We are in a position of public trust. Accountability matters. Transparency matters. Body-worn cameras protect the public and protect us. So why does the conversation change when technology helps identify a vehicle connected to a crime? When an ALPR helps locate a stolen vehicle, find a missing child, identify a hit-and-run vehicle, locate a wanted person, or develop a lead in a violent crime, we suddenly hear “surveillance,” “privacy,” and “Big Brother.” Let’s be honest. Your license plate is not a secret. Every time you drive on a public roadway, it is visible to anyone nearby. ALPR technology doesn’t make your vehicle invisible or reveal some secret part of your life. It turns information already visible in public into something actionable for a legitimate law-enforcement purpose. Any technology should have rules, including policies, audits, access controls, retention standards, and accountability. Those are reasonable conversations. But opposing the technology because it “could” be misused is not a serious argument. We don’t eliminate body cameras because someone “could” misuse a recording. We don’t eliminate 911 because someone “could” make a false call. We establish safeguards and hold people accountable. Ask the parent whose kidnapped child was located. Ask the detective trying to identify a vehicle connected to a homicide. Ask the family whose loved one with dementia was found miles from home. For them, the conversation looks very different. If we’re expected to solve modern crimes with tools from 30 years ago, we’re asking today’s deputies and officers to fight tomorrow’s criminals with yesterday’s technology. A hammer can build a house or cause destruction. The answer isn’t banning every hammer; it’s establishing rules for its use. Use the technology. Have policies. Train employees. Audit access. Hold people accountable for misuse. Criminals don’t care whether we use this tool. They’ll just be glad we didn’t. Technology isn’t the enemy. Misuse is. Here’s the good news for us in law enforcement… This too shall pass. In the meantime, feel free to put your Meta glasses back on, let your phone track your every move, ask Siri where you parked, check your Instagram location history, and then we can have a serious conversation about the privacy implications of a camera reading the license plate already visible on the back of your car.. #EverySecondCounts
