Flock “can’t tech its way out” of the stalker cop problem, experts say
摘要
美国车牌识别技术公司Flock宣布，将强制所有使用其摄像头数据的执法机构启用一项安全工具，该工具可自动检测异常活动并锁定滥用权限、跟踪熟人的警员。此前该功能为可选，仅三分之一机构启用。在佐治亚州一警长办公室借此逮捕三名利用摄像头跟踪熟人的警察后，Flock承认此前决策失误，决定采取纠正措施。专家指出，仅靠技术手段无法根治警察滥用监控的问题。
On Thursday, Flock announced plans to require all agencies with access to license plate reader data to use a safety tool that automatically detects abnormal activity and locks out cops who abuse their access to stalk people they know in their personal lives.
Flock’s audit assistance tool suspends access when user activity “meets defined criteria for abnormal behavior,” Flock said. The suspension can only be lifted by administrator review, with the goal being “to intervene before misuse becomes recurring or widespread.”
The tech has been available as an optional free feature since April, but only a third of agencies had opted in, Flock said. However, after a single Georgia sheriff’s office used the tool and subsequently arrested three cops who were separately using Flock cameras to stalk acquaintances, Flock CEO Garrett Langley told The Verge that dozens of incidents like these helped his company realize they made a mistake and had to act to correct it.
