President Donald Trump admitted that he likes Flock cameras as the public remains divided on them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI sort of like them because of that, because of law enforcement, but some people don\u2019t,\u201d Trump told reporters when asked about Flock cameras abroad Air Force One. \u201cThey think it\u2019s an infringement. I like them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The president was also asked about his position on artificial intelligence-powered license-plate reads and he didn\u2019t give a clear answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s being studied right now,\u201d he said last month, according to The Washington Post. \u201cWe\u2019ll have an answer … as to our views on it over the next couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flock cameras have been in the news over the past few months due to controversies and power overreaches.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, a D.C. police union alleged that the management at the Metropolitan Police Department improperly used data from a Flock license-plate reader.<\/p>\n
\u201cA system with such broad and extensive capabilities requires not only significant guardrails, but also full transparency with the public,\u201d Union President Gregg Pemberton said in a statement. \u201cThe MPD has provided neither.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last month Flock Safety stated that changes would be made regarding anti-abuse safeguards after issues with the surveillance technology.<\/p>\n
Investigations found that there was misuse of flock cameras by police, including officers who were accused of using the system for personal surveillance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump admitted that he likes Flock cameras as the public remains divided on them. \u201cI sort…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453304,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-453303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
